I dig that chord right at measure 19. Some sort of jazz thing?

Definitely has a pleasant bite to it.

Chord is (measured from the "B" below middle c = 253.319 Hz)

1/4 -217.66 cents 273.51 cents 764.69 cents 1473.51 cents

With all notes on guitar:

To within 14 cents it's

1/4 7/8 7/6 14/9 7/3
=
1/4 -231.174 cents 266.87 cents 764.916 cents 1466.87 cents

where the 7/6 is particularly close (within 0.3 cents).

However, perhaps that one doesn't have quite the same "bite" somehow:

Reducing all into same octave, and starting at the 14/9, one gets:
1/1 9/8 9/7 3/2
=
1/1 203.91 cents 435.084 cents 701.955 cents

Notes actually used:
1/1 217.655 cents 435.312 cents 708.827 cents

So maybe that gives some idea of what it is?
