Yellow (how Chris plays it)

Someone hook me up. :D

I think I have a video lying around somewhere on my hard drive that shows you step by step how to play it. It might also be on this forum. Let me see if I can find it.

 

Also, is your avatar the girl from Dreamfall?

That would be great and yes it is. It's one of my favorite games of all time, FFX is probably my favorite of all time.

Hooray for obscure video game references! I wasn't a big fan of FFX, but to each his own. Speaking of Japanese RPGs, have you tried Persona 4? Brilliant game.

 

Anyway, I lost that video. :( I'm terrible at explaining how to play music, but I'm going to try and describe it as best as I can.

 

First, you want to start by tuning your D string down to B and your high E string down to Eb (or D#, whatever.)

 

The chord for the very beginning goes like this:

0

0

8

0

9

7

And every now and then you'll want to put your pinky on the G string, creating this chord:

0

0

9

0

9

7

 

Now for the intro, which is also the verse.

0

0

8

0

9

7 <-- Which is the chord played during the beginning

As for the chorus:

 

0

0

1

0

2

0 <-- Which is the last chord played during the verse pattern

2 <-- Which is the second chord played during the verse pattern.

 

Hammer this out three times, play the last chord for one more measure, stay silent for another measure, and then start back at the verse/intro.

 

The ending is basically the verse, but with some funky chord in the middle that I'm not familiar with.

 

Excuse the horrible execution, but I hope that got the directions across.

^ the d string on the first few chords is on the 8th fret, not 0. and the funky chord at the end is

no it's great! thank you so much I was just playing it for about an hour in front of my house.

 

i just don't think the second chord of the chorus is right, double check it, pleas.

Wait, play the chord, try to find out what's wrong with the chord and play with it untill you are happy with it and it sounds okay.

That's one of the bests way to train you ear for music!

If you always keep using chords and sheetmusic your ears won't be trained enough. :)
