ultimate newbie theory question

Unread post by violenticecream88 » Sun Oct 08, 2006 3:36 pm

hey... i am wondering something. when dave plays something, lets take the chorus for #41 for instance, when he sings, does it all fit in the G/F#/C chords? i dont think im wording this quite right..

what i think i want to know is, when he sings, how does it fit with what hes playing on the guitar (or the rest of the band for that matter)

thanks
stan

so, for 1 measure he'd be singing in G, 1 in F# and 2 in C (#41 chorus)

what are the notes he sings.. does anyone know

no...they key doesn't change that much. I think it's Em or G the entire time.

My answer would be that it just does. Dave makes it fit by singing notes/pitches that sound good over those chord changes. I might need you rephrase your question for a better response...
