Title: The Guitar Chords Thread
Post by: BlahBlah 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

Saddest Song

Am|Em|G

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

dudes dont fuck with that fully diminished 7th chord. that shit is insane.
Title: Re: The Guitar Chords Thread
Post by: sean on 08 Feb 2010, 11:43
i mean the chord has straight up paired tritones. that right there should tell you that chord isn't trying to fuck around.

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.
Title: Re: The Guitar Chords Thread
Post by: Spluff on 08 Feb 2010, 19:37
Yeah, it fits right into a an E or G harmonic minor. It's still pretty dissonant.
Title: Re: The Guitar Chords Thread
Post by: sean on 08 Feb 2010, 21:35
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.
Title: Re: The Guitar Chords Thread
Post by: Melodic on 09 Feb 2010, 00:40
You heard it here first, folks. That is not a chord to be noodled with.

I noodled with it.   

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

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.
