Biography:
Hole was an American alternative rock band formed by singer and guitarist Courtney Love and lead guitarist Eric Erlandson in Los Angeles, California in 1989. Influenced by Los Angeles' punk rock scene, and produced by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, the band's debut album, Pretty on the Inside (1991), attracted critical interest from British and American alternative press.

Chords: (Std Tuning)
C# A D G#
e: -9-- -5-- -10- -4--
B: -9-- -5-- -10- -4--
G: -10- -6-- -11- -5-- -+
D: -11- -7-- -12- -6-- |- most of song played on these strings
A: -11- -7-- -12- -6-- |- can even use power E's and omit G string
E: -9-- -5-- -10- -4-- -+
Notes: Since I got no response from my original post, I've decided to ditch the capo and go with
bar chords, in hopes of hitting a different audience (rockers). With male vocals, I find
playing this a step or 2 down sounds better to me. Since these are all E-form bars, you can
easily play around with them to fit your style (ie, same formations, just move down a fret).
Oh yeah, and pretty much slide between all chords!
