One of the Robert Pollard guitar techniques I mention frequently on this site is one that I call “Floating Chord Shapes.” This involves taking an open position chord shape and playing it elsewhere on the guitar neck. In the case of “Tractor Rape Chain,” Pollard crafts a verse chord progression by playing an open A5 chord shape on various frets of the guitar, leaving the fifth string ringing open throughout.
