Been a while, but here's a video talking about the open-G minor-chord voicing in "Wild Horses," "Tops," "Struggle," "Mixed Emotions," and others. Check it out!

An addendum to the last video: running down the riffs for "Before They Make Me Run" and "You Don't Move Me."

Keith comes off as a savant or "accidental genius" to some but he is undoubtedly clever in his understanding of these voicings. Songs that sound very different on the surface (Love Is Strong vs. SFM) aren't so different in structure. Mel, you do a great job in showing us the roots of these tunes plus many that a lot of us haven't listened to in forever, like 999, awesome stuff
