Resistance-Era Open-G Stomp — Upper-String Rebel Chords
The guitar uses the unusual DGDGBe tuning and compact upper-string chord voicings, leaving the central low-register hook to the synthesizer and bass. Exact studio guitar, amp and knob positions are not documented, so the settings approximate Bellamy’s Resistance-era Manson, Dickinson, Marshall and Diezel palette.

Notes
Do not duplicate the synth bass on guitar. Strike the upper-string chords sharply and mute immediately to preserve the marching groove.
