Griffinator Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Feeling rather sheepish about this, as I pride myself in my ability to discern chords, but the one in the closing section is driving me nuts. You know, when they go to the main riff, but staccato it with that funky stop-chord - I for the life of me can't identify it. Help? A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

S. Yeti Bigfoot, Esq. Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Well, I'll tell you how it sounds to me..coud be wrong, but it's worth a shot, right? The main body of the song sounds like a F#m, A, E7 comp, until you get to the point where the lyrics are "So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins......" at that point it sounds like it is a F#m, C7 comp for the rest of the song. Hope that helps. "And so I definitely, when I have a daughter, I have a lot of good advice for her." ~Paris Hilton BWAAAHAAAHAAHAAA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkjimiphoton Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 pretty much a c or c7#9 should do...it's fast and fairly distorted and probably multitracked, so it's hard to tell. http://www.sweetrelief.org/ https://www.wepay.com/donations/memorial-stone-for-juliane-pocius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hmmmm...Well, it's been years, but I seem to recall this: ----- -3--- -3--- -x--- -3--- ----- Almost a C9 shape. The open E was what threw me off - I was trying to play a full C9 in there, and it just sounded wrong, wrong, wrong.... until you get to the point where the lyrics are "So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins......" at that point it sounds like it is a F#m, C7 comp for the rest of the song. Hope that helps. Based on the above, that's a pretty good ear you got there. C-Bb-D-E - a C9 with no 5. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

The open E was what threw me off - I was trying to play a full C9 in there, and it just sounded wrong, wrong, wrong.... I've played it against the recording and it sounds right. I have to agree with you Griff, it's one bugger of a chord to hear. When I was a teacher, I used to spend half my time figuring out chords for students. I got really good at it. But this one chord... It reminds me of the arguments surrounding the Beatles opening chord in "A Hard Days Night".

Griffinator Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 It is a bastard of a chord. I can't speak to "Hard Day's Night", as I've never had occasion to need to learn that song, but at least that one was CLEAN... A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

Griffinator Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Nope, gotta take up for the drummers here (since my best bud and probably the best musician in the band is the drummer) What do you call a guitarist without a g/f?

S. Yeti Bigfoot, Esq. Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 What do medium pizza and a guitar player have in common? Neither one can feed a family of four.

Caevan O’Shite Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hey, while I don't have a copy on hand to listen to at the moment, I would guess that JPJ's growling bass makes it easy to confuse what grip is being played on the guitar there (ESPECIALLY if JP's playing something that doesn't have the root on the bottom), any possible overdubs notwithstanding; try listening through a good pair of headphones (I'm sure YOU'VE got some, Griff'!) with the balance panned hard-right or hard-left to find if the bass and guitar might be panned a bit separately (often the case with Zeppelin), and thus clear things up for aural scrutinizin' of just how he put the HARM in the harmony there... Isn't the tune in E? An Fm or something along those lines seems to come to mind...

Griffinator Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Tune is in F#, Caev. I checked G the first time I spun it. I'm inclined to agree with Craig's C9no5 idea. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, THAT makes sense enough; apparently I was mistaken about the key and everything- after all, it's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time... I'll hafta try that out sometime soon.

Griffinator Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 That's the first time I've ever heard "This Flight Tonight" - cool tune. Unfortunately, we're already doing "Hair of the Dog" and "Love Hurts" - maybe once we rotate one or both of them out, we might experiment that direction. The singer, at this point, is understandably concerned about blowing her throat on "Barracuda" - that's some tough pitches right there. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.
