Gobias Industries Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Isn't this in the key of E? -0-00-0-00-0-00-0 -0-00-0-00-0-00-2 -1-11-2-11-2-11-2 -2-22-4-22-4-22-2 -2-22-4-22-4-22-0 -0-00-0-00-0-00-- The main riff, so E mostly, with the F#m movement on it, x2 then to the A. Fits over the verses. Then the choruses go like D A D then some chord, not sure of the name, if you can help: -2- -1- -2- -1- --- --- then Em A, Em A, then repeat the chorus thingies. Most of the song repeats after that. That's my take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gabe32 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 isn't the verse just 022100 (E) --> 022200 (Esus4 maybe?) the f#m thing doesn't sound too right to me. at least in the verse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stagerug Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 isn't the verse just 022100 (E) --> 022200 (Esus4 maybe?) the f#m thing doesn't sound too right to me. at least in the verse You got it. It is E Esus4 and A for the verse. Pretty sure. Then for the "It's a secret... etc lines... D A D D#dim I don't care anymore... is Em A That's the whole song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 D A D then some chord, not sure of the name, if you can help: -2--1--2--1------- Yeah, JT loves this chord. It shows it in Shes a Jar, Sky Blue Sky, Hate It Here and somewhere else, but escapes my memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stagerug Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yeah, JT loves this chord. It shows it in Shes a Jar, Sky Blue Sky, Hate It Here and somewhere else, but escapes my memory. That is the D#dim chord. He does dig that one. On Ashes of American Flags too. Edit: D sharp diminished to clarify. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about you, but I find it a little tough to finger. Feels a bit awkward. As a internal training device, I have been fingering a D7 chord (which I can do easily), then sliding the 1st fret finger over to complete the ensemble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It took some practice to get it down. I do it with 1 (D 1st fret) 2 (B 1st fret) 3 (G 2nd fret) and 4 (high E 2nd fret). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky speaks Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Try Barring the first four strings first fret with index finger and use middle finger on g string 2nd fret and ring finger on e string 2nd fret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Try Barring the first four strings first fret with index finger and use middle finger on g string 2nd fret and ring finger on e string 2nd fret.Yep. This is how I do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
