![]() ![]() It's much easier than the tab shows, so the best thing to do here is to label the progression as we did with the Bsus4 - B. Now, remember the Bsus4 - B run from above, right? Well, all we'll be doing in this verse is just moving that concept. The easiest way to think of the intro is simply to start strumming the Bsus4 - B for a bit after you've given the F#7 (measures 8 - 9) a run through. Here's where it begins the main recurring theme over and over for a bit: Measures 1 - 7 = Bm - Bm/E - F#7sus4 - F#7 - F#m7 - Em/F# - G (all 8th notes) Now, that seemed like a WHOLE lot of tab for the intro, right? The truth is this: once you get past the first 7 measures it's just a matter of repeating, so, here's what you're actually playing: In other words, the note that is in parenthesis in a given run is how you alter the chord that preceeded it. However, I think it's easier to think of in this way.Īny change that is affected will be shown above in parentheses. That's what a split chord typically means. In a split chord notation, the " /E " that I'm showing in Bm isn't actually the lowest note from the original root. The second measure that I've labeled isn't technically "correct" in notation, because I am using a split chord notation. That's just a Bm chord in the first measure, and a Bm chord without the "2" on the high E string in the second measure. Now, I'm using a different way of naming these chords, because the version I practiced was awkward. The first 7 measures make use of straight eighth note strumming: After that it's basically the epitome of awesome rhythmic strumming. The only part in this entire song that that is a simple straight eighth run is the intro - but only for the first 7 measures. This might be confusing at first, but after a few plays you'll see what I mean. I drop BACK out after the Bsus4 - B part. I will come back in right before the verse. This isn't so easy with the track at all, so be prepared for that. Here is the mp3 track I used to play along with. The one showing "red" is the rhythm guitar. The one showing "blue" is the lead guitar. If you aren't real familiar with this song, you can just use the basic chord names (without playing the "sus4" chords) - but it won't sound QUITE like the actual song itself. Here is the chord reference file you'll need:Īs just mentioned, this seems much harder than it ends up being, mainly because of the chord names themselves. ![]() Other than the blistering speed in which Townsend plays, this song is very simple to play in terms of progression and even chord formation. ![]() Home | EZ Song Jamz 1 | EZ Song Jamz 2 | EZ Jam Sessions ![]()
