I too have messed with these chords and haven't quite figured it out.
You're right, it's not on whonet.  I haven't tried in a while, but I do
think that Pete is playing in the key of B.  Now that I think about it, I'm
going to go try it out when I get home; since I tried it last, I didn't know
the "slash" chord technique that Pete used to play (see Kids film - you can
see the style during "Pinball Wizard" at Woodstock when they focus on Pete)
but I do now.  It may be this kind of style that he plays the opening chords
of Bargain with - not your traditional box chord, but an underhanded style;
thumb is on the top of the neck and fingers curl under.  See what happens.

Speaking of "monster" guitar players...

I recently bought a copy of Bob Mould's "Last Dog and Pony Show" and it has
an accompanying "interview" disc.  In it, Bob mentions playing with Pete at
a show a couple of years ago - "one of my idols" I think he says (sorry only
listened once).  Anyway, that made me think of Mould's old band, Husker Du.
I don't know how many of you know of the Huskers, but after considering it
some (and recently purchasing Husker's "The Living End" - a live album) it
became my humble opinion that the Huskers are as close to the Who as any
band I know of.  The music is a jaggernaut of sound and the lyrics are
intropective, funny and socially aware.  And even more, I can tell the Pete
influence in Mould's monster guitar playing.  Anyone else make this
connection?  Thought it might be interesting.  Until next time kids...
