The Guitar Chords Thread
« on: 07 Dec 2009, 14:04 »

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: [Select]
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

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

Here are some rapeman songs:

Just Got Paid:
Code: [Select]
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

anyone know what the fuck this chord is:


Code: [Select]
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...

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
