Notes:
Beginners can play all the open position chords, and you can replace the F#m with F#m7 which is technically a barre chord, but a very easy one... see charts above.
The Fdim7 may look a little scary but it is very easy to play. The xx3434 is charted, but the xx0101 inversion sounds great as well.
6/8 time represents 6 eighth-note beats per bar
After the change in time signature, you can play power chords where distortion occurs - 6 down-strokes per bar.
The Power Chords that come into play over-ride the following:
A → A5
D → D5
E → E5
