lauva42 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I try to find out how to play the new version of "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face". Can somebody find out the chord which Chris is playing at the beginning with the e-guitar? [ame= ] [/ame] Thanks!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 ya it's quite simple tune the guitar as that, low to high: C#-G#-C#-F-C#-C# then thumb always used on lowest C# string i'll note down the chords and their variations only; as we're musicians and learn by doing, it would be no use writing down everything, that's more work than necessary i guess... if you're not able to learn it by listening then, you're not supposed to play the song now and should go practice first :P C#|0000 these high C# strings may always sound open and may be hit unintentionally C#|0000--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F...|-8-(10)-------7-(10)-(8)----------5-(7)------------------------ C#|-9-------------7---------------------5---------------------------- G#|---------------(0)------------------------------------------------ C#|-9-------------7---------------------5---------------------------- -----Bbm---------Ab--------------------Gb---------<<very basic chord names last chord is just all strings stroke open^^ if the chords for the rest are unclear: the low C# and G# strings are both fretted with the thumb (at least it's easy to play it that way) C#|-0---0---0---0------0---0---0 C#|-0---0---0---0------0---0---0 F...|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 C#|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 G#|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 C#|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 ----for the verses------for the chorus&bridge(=end here) easy one, right? =) enjoy (and c'mon, lead guitar hasn't changed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsandcops Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 are you sure to turn low to high? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 are you sure to turn low to high? :o edit: just came to think of it, low to high means from lowest to highest string! not tune all up! the > and < below indicate whether to tune up or down so yes, this is the correct tuning: e>c# B<c# G>F D>C# A>G# E>C# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionsOfScience Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I love the new guitar line, it's nice, but the vocal melody does NOT go with it at all, it's as if he's singing in a different key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronFenwick Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 But there's one chord he plays without thumb wrapped around the low C# string.....what chord could it be ??When he plays the Ab variation with the F-string played at the 10th fret, he hits an open low C# (that's the chord you're seeing without the thumb wrapped around). Then, when he moves down the F-string to the 8th and 7th fret, he brings his thumb back around to hold down the low C#-string at the 7th fret.

uttamo Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I love the new guitar line, it's nice, but the vocal melody does NOT go with it at all, it's as if he's singing in a different key. Haha I know exactly what you mean. When I first heard this version of the song I literally thought Chris had the wrong key. But then I realised I was wrong when the rest of the band came in. It really didn't sound right at all! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvmg Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not a big fan of this version. Sounds similar to the guitar bits in "see you soon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack1505 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I LOVE the MX version of GPASUYF.... this isnt the best video for it, Madrid or Glastonbury is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
