tripping billies alternate chorus

[seth_southerland]

i was trying to think of something that could be played as an alternate chorus to tripping billies, and i came up with...

Code: Select all

e-x-x-2-3-x-x-   -x-x-2-3-x-x-
b-4-2-2-3-4-2-	-4-2-2-3-2-4-
g-4-2-3-4-4-2-	-4-2-3-4-2-4-
d-4-2-4-5-4-2-	-4-2-4-5-2-4-
a-x-x-4-5-x-x-	-x-x-4-5-x-x-
e-x-x-2-3-x-x-	-x-x-2-3-x-x-

i'm going to be at work until five today, but can someone play this and if they have time and see how it sounds

or...if someone has done this kind of thing before and has a better sounding alternate chorus, could you post it? thanks

well its gonna be fuller/louder cuz it has more notes for each chord. your chords for the 3th and 4th chords are essentially the same as daves, he just took out the 5th and octave that you kept.

I dont think it sounds right, and i dont think you have enough chords there.

b-3-2-2-3-3-2-   -3-2-2-3-2-3-
g-4-2-2-4-4-2-   -4-2-2-4-2-4-
d-4-2-4-5-4-2-   -4-2-4-5-2-4-
a-x-x-4-5-x-x-   -x-x-4-5-x-x-
e-x-x-2-3-x-x-   -x-x-2-3-x-x-

if you do want to do it this way it it should be played like this if you want the right chords. all hes playing is Bm A F#m G Bm A then Bm A F#m G A Bm

you can even play the base notes of the Bm and A chord above

[guitardmb]

Why change it at all. The original way is just as easy.

just for fun, maybe to pep up a solo performance, or to have fun with it, ya know, an alternate jammy thing

not sure where you got those chords from...in the chorus he's playing.. A..D..C..B..A...then.. A..D...their not major chords...but i definately don't hear a Bm..nor any version of F.

I could've sworn 2xx2xx is F#m, 3xx4xx is G, 5xx6xx is A, and 7xx7xx is Bm

[guitardmb]

mraz you're wrong man. All those "dave chords" are is just broken down barre chords. the 7xx7xx is a broken down Bm, the 5xx6xx is A, 3xx4xx is G, and the 2xx2xx is F#m.

I dont know if anyone has said this already but, you could just play versions of those chords as an alternate. It wouldnt sound just like the chorus but it would sound enough like it.

to add to a solo try this...

7xx77;5xx65;3xx43;2xx22

sounds nice but still correct

its not an F#m. it is a D chord. think of it more like 2X02. now it sounds more like an D/F#

It could really work either way. If you play an F#m, or a D/F#.

[mraz698]

i feel like an idiot now..i was talking about the verse for some reason...i its guess because to me that is the part of the song worth doing differently than dave cause its frickin hard...my apologies..

It could really work either way. If you play an F#m, or a D/F#.

the root for that chord is a D with the F# note held down with it. so its the D/F#.

But it could be played with either chord. They both sound fine.
