Goldberg Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hey, I'm not great at theory, more particularly chord progressions, but I'd like to try and imitate U2's Where the Streets Have No Name, you know, in the first minute and 10 seconds or so where the pad is playing those chords (and later the organ joins in). Could someone help me out with these chords? "Bach is ever new"-Glenn Gould Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffinator Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Well, all I can contribute is that the primary chord progression in the song is D(4 bars)-G-Bm-A-G. I would offer (based on my recent memory of the song) that the opening pad is pretty much a variation on this theme, with some suspensions thrown in for variety. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningbusch Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I don't know the song but I just listened to the first 30 secs at a CD site (not sure if I heard the actually beginning as the song fades in, then out). Anyhow this is what I could determine under less than ideal circumstances: This will be right hand chord starting with the lowest note/left bass note: EAD/D, EAC#/D, EAC#/G, DGB/G, DF#BD/B (Bm chord), EAD/A, EAC#/A, ADG/D, ADF#/D... You can figure it out ryhthmically. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EAD/D = Dsus2 EAC#/D = Asus4 (the D insinuated) EAC#/G = A7 DGB/G = G DF#BD/B = B minor EAD/A = Asus4 (no 3rd) EAC#/A = A ADG/D = Gsus2 ADF#/D = D A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.
