anyway its just some basic bar chords..D Am C G something like that but my guitars out of tune and i have a bad ear. im dying to rock this song out

definatley worth checking out for anybody that likes to loop, Brock Butler knows his jamman in and out. also played in the show is Breathe by floyd and a good cover of Africa, really great songs to learn if you havent already...

thanks in advance, i kno most of the regulars stick to nDMB but hopefully i can find some help here..

[Brian M.D.]

sounds like he is playing Fm (133111), Ab (466544), Db (x4312x)

(for the intro, Dbmaj7 (x43111), Ab, Db)
for the solo he sticks mostly to the Ab major scale, you could use this pattern in 1st position....

Code: Select all

-1-3-4-
-1-2-4-
-1-3-
-1-3-5-
-1-3-4-
-1-3-4-

(and fuck yeah for anyone who covers pink floyd and steely dan in one set)

EDIT, just put a capo on the first fret and play em, g, c relative to the capo, i'm sure that's what he's doing. completely skipped my mind when i was typing the original post.

here's the g major scale relative to the capo, use it and the above scale (which is NOT relative to the capo) and you'll have two positions of notes you can use.

Code: Select all

-2-3-5-
-3-5-
-2-4-5-
-2-4-5-
-2-3-5-
-3-5-

fuck it here's the first scale relative to the capo..

Code: Select all

-0-2-3-
-0-1-3-
-0-2-
-0-2-4-
-0-2-3-
-0-2-3-
