"The hardest thing to do in the world...ever!"

Go and grab yourself a guitar of any description and play the intro to All My Life by the FooFighters. Basically its just a G power chord but if you're rubbish at playing the guitar just play a G note. Listen to the song for the rhythm if you dont know it.

Now for the hard part.

Try singing along to it. Doesnt sound hard but it is. Singing and playing it at the same time is nearly impossible. It makes Dave Grohl even more of a ledgend IMO.

You think thats hard? Try cutting off your fingers and eating a choclate bar.

Cheers metalhead.

*cries- no powerchords*

:D



Trust me, there are just some chords that work way better than others and chord progression is key. Not pattern so much, Very_Metal.

you'd think after all that effort they'd at least want to cry in public so people could say "doesn't that whinging asshat have good hair?"

it's really the rythm of the strumming that designates the ethnicity of spanish music. tends to be a fair few half-step progressions in there too.

Am, C, G, F, E. Basically part of an old Santana song, u gotta play em slow. 1 chord per bar, but the F and the E go in the same bar (half bar each). Make up you're own rhythm since i can't really tab one on here, and play all open chords, no powerchords. Once you got that, mess around with them e.g. C you can chance to C, C7, C. Or the Am, take off the first finger to get sort of an Am9. Whatever, just use that progression and it should sound good :D

It's all so confusing.



(Does anybody know some traditional Spanish music sounding chords I can play in succession? I don't know the names of any songs like this, or the chords which are relevant.)

I hope you chew 'em up good. :)

I eat emo kids.

Heh. Emo is when you straighten your long hair so that it obscures half your face and sit in your room crying.

it means people come to your gigs wearing scarves, t-shirts 3 sizes too small, messy hair and skateboard trainers. they stand around picking holes in the support acts for not being "real" enough until the headliners come on, when they shuffle to the front and compare Funeral for a Friend merchendise with each other.

emo=elitist whinging.
