There’s a vid on YT where J demonstrates the opening/verse riff for Out There. It’s done in Em and revolves around Em > Bm > Cmaj7, but as you point out with capo 3rd fret brings it into key of Gm. J has a trick with his riffs, he starts open chord position keeps his 3rd & 4th fingers for bass strings (6,5,4) and leaves index & pinky to hammer high strings (3,2,1). Other riffs he does this include Thumb, Keeblin, I Don’t Think So.

This song saved the existence of the guitar solo” when it came out (ok, lil melodramatic, but still, context of grunge…). And I agree, the raw just-off bends and sloppy looseness are intentional. Yet each nuance got stamped on my brain, I can still mimic every note of each hooky melodic guitar lead. What you might not have picked up on is how complex the rhythm parts are under the vocals, definitely not just power chords, basically playing two parts at once, suspensions and melody over the power chords (and yes, that inverted F), while faking that he sings like a 13yr old stuck in a tenement house….

Teenage years were skater pop/screamo, then it went mental, then Indie, then pop punk, then punk punk, blues and soul and finally folk/legit country. So I want to appreciate styles like this, but I'm not able to flip like that. With that said, I was introducing a friend to Tool - Parabola in the car the other day. So I do get moods. Thought I'd mention Tool as I dont even know what genre I'd place them in. Edit: As I was writing this, I was listening and now I'm digging the song. Weird how that happens. 🤣
