Help me identify a chord

Can anyone tell me what chord(s?) are playing in the background of this recording? I really love it, and would like to find out exactly what they are. I think one is a G Major, but I'm not 100%. Is there software that can do this yet? Or can someone lend me their educated ears?

Hard to hear, but it sounds like G- D (I-V). HTH!

it is B minor 2nd inversion (from low to hi that would be the notes D, F# and B) and then it goes to E minor (from low to hi that would be E and G notes)

all of this on top of a D note ( there's also a hint of a B note below the D)

the vocal stab is (from low to hi would be G and B notes)

Man I just listened again, and maybe it's my laptop but I can't hear those chords at all! All I hear clearly is that annoying repetetive D note.

Your chords are probably right, since I can't hear them well enough to tell. Bm can sound like G so I can see how I'd miss that, but Em and D are totally different...huh.

Oh FTR not to be anal, but Bm with a D in the bass is 1st inversion...

My take is I think its alternating Bm and Em 2nd inversion.

Bm = B, D, F#, B
Em = B, E, G, B

btw Bm with D, F#, B is 1st inversion.
When the 3rd is in the bass its 1st inversion, when the 5th is in the bass its 2nd inversion

you ve got a repeated D note
the main chord is : D, E, G, B (E 7minor) alternated with a D Major (D, F#, A). No doubt about it.

Haha, so I see this isn't an exact science then

But seriously, thanks to everyone for their help

The Vocal stab sounds like a straigh E minor triad. The repeated D is actually (stab) B D D D (stab) B D D D. the first chord is definitely E minor 7, agreed but I hear a B in the second chord so I would call it a B minor 7, because it sounds minorish, but you can call it D 6 if you prefer.

nolus is right.
