Rock n Roll Best Friends (Chorus)
Added 2019-12-04 22:10:00 +0000 UTCHow about this spicy hot riff? A power stance is recommended for maximum tone. 1 power stance = 1 tone.
Pro Tips:
- Down pick every note to keep the attack and volume of every note consistent.
- The first half in the 7th position is palm muted. The second half that takes place lower on the neck switches to open notes. It's also best if you can get the notes to ring together in the second half, it makes things sound a little bit extra cool.
- Pay close attention to my left hand here. You'll notice it doesn't move that much even though there are a ton of notes. The left hand can be reduced to these chord shapes:
x x x 0 0 0 0
8 7 8 0 0 0 4
7 7 7 x 5 4 4
10 7 9 6 x x x
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
Theory Talk:
The chords are:
C major - D major - E minor
C major - D major - E minor
Db minor7 - C major 7 - B sus4 - B major
I'm playing these chords high up on the neck, one note at a time. I keep the note D in every chord during the first half. During the second half, I keep the notes E and B in every chord (that's the 2 open strings that keep happening). These shared note are a pretty 80's thing to do.
TABs are attached as PDF and Guitar Pro files.
Have a wonderful week!

2019-12-06 16:18:28 +0000 UTCFinally found the word I was looking for yesterday! Encouraging was the word I wanted. Yesterday was kind of a rough one, so this was really well-timed--just the kind of boost I needed. It helped. Thanks for being you and doing what you do!

2019-12-05 16:51:40 +0000 UTCJust this week. But we're not on too strict of a schedule really, things could pop up when you least expect it! That's the beauty!
2019-12-05 16:51:31 +0000 UTCThere's too many to explain in a short blurb!
2019-12-05 16:50:29 +0000 UTCYes! Thanks for the request!
2019-12-05 16:50:00 +0000 UTCFirst I will need to politely ask Ninja Brian without sparking rage. We'll see!
2019-12-05 16:49:25 +0000 UTC(really need to pay off that guitar and start that up) ...would you believe that I blew all of those month (..and next months) disposable cash on TWRP-merch?? ^^; (true story)
2019-12-05 16:31:45 +0000 UTCAhhhh so nice to the ears~ (these little tabs each week are such a nice pick-up during some harder times also) thanks again so much as always
2019-12-05 16:30:35 +0000 UTCOne of my favorites! Your tone in this is just so cool.

2019-12-05 07:10:13 +0000 UTCAlso you posted this a day early. Are you planning on switching to Wednesday posting? Or is it just for this week?
2019-12-04 23:08:19 +0000 UTCI always thought this song had a bit of an 80’s vibe to it. It’s cool to know at least part of the reason why. What are some other typical 80’s musical tropes?
2019-12-04 23:06:21 +0000 UTCAw heck yes! Just the song I wanted to learn!

2019-12-04 22:45:33 +0000 UTCThis made me feel nostalgic in all the best ways. It‘s like listening to my dad’s music on long car rides. Also, may I make a suggestion? Id LOVE to see Built 4 Love broken down soon! My sister claims its the most perfect song you’ve written!! (I dont agree but it IS like. Top three!)

2019-12-04 22:39:58 +0000 UTCOh, this is lovely! There’s something really nice and bright and hopeful about it that I hadn’t noticed in the full track. Definitely needed this today :) Thanks Phobos!
