What's this strange chord? RAdams live "To Be Without You"
 

From BBC6 Radio Music, Ryan Adams playing "To Be Without You"

Capo on the third fret. Standard tuning. Chords are D/Sus, Gsus, Cadd( shapes, with single noet strikes on the E and walkup and walk downs on the A string.

I know exactly what he's doing here except for chord he is playing at time 1:23, the then gets into the Cadd walkdown walkup.

It is not the Dsus2 shape -- that's too melodic. The chord he plays out is slightly dissonant.

I am completely stumped. Anybody have any ideas?

Try (relative to the capo) 5-5-4-0-3-x. Pick you own name for it.

Is he playing a 7 string guitar?

Is he playing a 12 string? I can hear a high F# against an open G which you wouldn't expect on a standard 6 string.

It's sort of likewith the emphasis on the fourth string, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

Opps, typo. Thanks. Now corrected.

It is a six string...and voila!

Here's a video of him playing it.

Yes, it is true, you can find ANYTHING on the internet.

It's a D/A shape up the fretboard.

:) I was about to say D add 4/A but then there were too many strings.

Yep, I think that's it.

He does play a 12 string in that session, but not on that song. I've never seen that model in the landing page picture. What is it?
