erikbojerik Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 You know, that chord that really adds some tension to the music; grinding, screeching, growling, howling noise chord. Here's mine (TAB, standard E-E tuning): 0 6 0 6 0 6 My second favorite: X X X 7 9 0 How 'bout you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 i like (in drop D) E-X B-4 G-7 D-0 A-X D-0 in case you don't know its all D so the sound bounces back and forth and confuses itsself and stuff. I also like to do the good old volume swell on the 19th(?) fret harmonic right before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 id be agreeing with wes here. jarring discordant sounds are the basis of what i play. if you find a tab for 43% burnt by dillinger escape plan then they use that instead of regular 3 string power chords.

JohnnyG Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 man this theory lark always confuzzled me. i just learn chords that sound nice and then work out how ill be able to move it around to keep the same sound. tho in truth if given a little time to think about them i can just about work out the proper names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Fruit Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 mine: e: 9 B:8 G:9 D:8 A:x E:x Add a bit of whammy to it, delay and chours, and it sounds fantastic Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Sorbera Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I thnink it's funny that all these guitar players dont know music theory at all. It's funny that the people who cant play very well always know all the thoery and all the "good" players dont know what it is there playin...

erikbojerik Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Not a generalization I'd make.... I think people in general are inspired to play stuff they like, and bits of the theory follow along later. I'm finding that piano really helps with the theory part...I have to help my kids out with piano lessons, and I find it is a good workout on the fundamentals.

westhemann Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 the vast majority of guitarists do not know much of theory...but that only makes sense,since when you pick up a guitar to learn,you try to learn songs,and the theory just comes along later,if at all. but i am sure it is nice to know theory...just as a tool.

BREAK OUT THE WET NOODLE! You've really gotta step away from the rock/pop culture to make such a determination. Reproduction of memorized material doesn't not make someone a good player and even less of a musician. A good player / musician can hold there own in any area in any key without previous familiarity of the material. That's where music theory comes into play. Wayne Newton is a great example of someone who has come to play guitar fairly well but couldn't improvise to save his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Kevan! Another member of the spelling police, out of the closet. I'm with you brother... Another nice noise chord is AMm7 (A major-minor 7th, just Am with a maj7 added): E-0 (5th) B-1 (minor 3rd) G-1 (maj7th) D-2 (5th) A-0 (root) E-X Another one of those nice jazz color chords that turn noisy when you crank up the gain. You can barre that one all over the neck too. Heck, throw in E-0 in the bass if you like. And if you MUST flat the 5th at D-2...well fine, go ahead. That'll give you Eb&E and Ab&A going on...pretty noisy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 i like this one, used it with other odd chords in one of my songs: E|-2 B|-2 G|-4 D|-5 A|-2 E|-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
