The Guitar Chords Thread

[BlahBlah]

I think that with the combined guitar knowledge of this forum we should be able to work out any song.

Here's some SKWM:

Slow Hands:

intro: C | Em | D/F# | C | Aadd2 | C | Em | D/F# | C
chorus: C | G | B(maybe minor?) | Fmaj7 | C
The solo uses an E scale, with these notes:

Code:

e-12-14-15
B-12-13-15
G-11-12-14
D-12-14
A-12-14-15
E-12-14-15

Don't Make Plans This Friday:

verses: G | F | Am | C/G
chorus: Em | Fmaj7 | G Am | C
bridge, after second chorus: G Am | C
The solo starts off in E pentatonic then switches to something I can't work out.

Nerves:

verse: B | E | D (barre chords)
chorus: G | F# | B | A
Again, I think the solo is in E.

I Hope U Don't Survive:

verse: A | F#| D , bend the 4th fret on the g string
chorus is the same chords but in a different order

Insomnia

A | D | F# | D

LR72

G | C | G | C | Em | C | G | A | C

[KharBevNor]

Saddest Song

Am|Em|G

Play reverently, as if a king is burying his baby son.

I have just started learning to play guitar and it super hard to find SKWM tabs

<3 this thread <3

[Be My Head]

I'm just starting to learn piano. It tells me what notes to play.

[Inlander]

Ever since I started learning the mandolin I've realised that guitar chords are lame because guitar tuning is lame.

[Zingoleb]

Bouzouki > Mandolin

[Bastardous Bassist]

I'm just starting to learn piano. It tells me what notes to play.

The right ones.

[Zingoleb]

Suddenly remembering the time I was looking at a chord book telling me to play an L#.

[BlahBlah]

Here are some rapeman songs:

Just Got Paid:

Code:

e|---------
B|---------
G|---------
D|---5-----
A|777-75--7
E|------75-

the chords are E and D, maybe A after the D, it's hard to tell

Trouser Minnow

G for the quiet part although the guitar plays around with it, again it's hard to work out
for the "I gotta stop drinking around" it's
Em F# G A

[BlahBlah]

The Fall - Cary Grant's Wedding

Code:

e|----------------
B|9-7-44-4--------
G|9-7-44-4-------1
D|9-7-44-4-2h4p2-2
A|7-5-22-2-------2
E|---------------0

The Fall - Frightened

A|-2-22---5-55---7-7--10-12----
E|0-----33------55-----8-10----

[spoon_of_grimbo]

anyone know what the fuck this chord is:

Code:

e|-----|
B|--7--|
G|--5--|
D|--7--|
A|--6--|
E|-----|

sounds awesome in metal/hardcore riffs, but i'm curious as to whether or not it's a legitimate chord, or if i'm just playing random frets...

[The Duke]

In theory, there's nothing you can play that "isn't a chord".  It might just end up being written out as "Em7sus4add9".  If it sounds good, go with it!

[Spluff]

that's a dim7

In attempting to play that, I learned how to play the opening piano part from "In the End" by Linkin Park. Go me.

Nah, that's not dim7, that's \m/

While technically you can't play random frets, playing random frets is often the way to make unique music rather than just using, G, C, D and Em again.

That is.....

*sips red wine from glass*







.......Satan.

[pinkpiche]

Hehehehe. Gotta love Gaahl.

[Lummer]

Also, you gotta love a chord that's too dissonant even for black metal.

[Ptommydski]

Just for reference, the song 'Just Got Paid' is a ZZ Top cover.

[sean]

dudes dont fuck with that fully diminished 7th chord. that shit is insane.

[sean]

i mean the chord has straight up paired tritones. that right there should tell you that chord isn't trying to fuck around.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

Also, you gotta love a chord that's too dissonant even for black metal.

it's not THAT dissonant.  in a four chord punk/hardcore song, a quick half-bar of it before returning to an E chord works pretty nicely.

[Spluff]

Yeah, it fits right into a an E or G harmonic minor. It's still pretty dissonant.

[sean]

yeah that is a chord pretty much only used to seriously destabilize a key for a key change because that shit is so dissonant.

like dudes should not be trying to just noodle about with a chord like that.

[Melodic]

You heard it here first, folks. That is not a chord to be noodled with.

[Lummer]

....unless you are Neurosis.

[A Wet Helmet]

I noodled with it.   

My life, unfortunately, doesn't feel significantly changed by this fact.

[Patrick]

Just for reference, the song 'Just Got Paid' is a ZZ Top cover.

I'm too lazy to post TAB, but the original is basically just playing D, E, and G (bending the G slightly just to give the bluesy flick between minor and major which I so love) on the A and D strings, and palm muting an open low E string on every quarter note.
