Annotations
For the A13 chord, the guitar plays an A9 and the organ a Gmaj9 voicing (resolved to a Gmaj9#11 on the fourth eighth note, except in the intro).
As always, Francis Rocco Prestia frets almost every note (other than when playing fifths or octaves) with either the index or middle finger and shifts his fretting hand a lot. He uses the remaining fingers of his fretting hand to constantly mute the notes.
