Title: TWGMTR Chords Post by: pmb on June 11, 2012, 08:58:55 AM Hi All,
Has anyone managed to work out the chords on any of the songs on the new album apart from TWGMTR? Probably the most complicated one done! Thanks in advance Title: Re: TWGMTR Chords Post by: Aegir on June 11, 2012, 09:02:06 AM I second this notion. I would love to play some of these songs at open mic!
Title: Re: TWGMTR Chords Post by: Landlocked on June 11, 2012, 12:28:57 PM Since you asked so nicely...
Sounds like fun. I'll try my hand at a couple and post 'em when I think they're workable. Title: Re: TWGMTR Chords Post by: hypehat on June 11, 2012, 12:53:34 PM If you mess around with A, F#m, Bm, and E you will have the majority of Isn't It Time - the bridge is also those 4 chords in a different order (natch - I think it throws a G in there after the first chorus, and somewhere at the end of the bridge)
Title: Re: TWGMTR Chords Post by: Landlocked on June 11, 2012, 12:58:39 PM Heh, beat me to it hypehat! That's the song I just pounded out at the piano. It's essentially this.
"Isn't It Time" Verse: A / F#m / A / F#m / D/B / E / D/B / E / A / F#m / A / F#m / D/B / E / D/B / E / Pre-chorus: E / Chorus: A / F#m / A / F#m / D/B / E / D/B / E / A / F#m / A / F#m / D/B / E / D/B / E / Transition: D6sus4/G / D6/A Verse: A / F#m / A / F#m / D/B / E / D/B / E / Chorus: A / F#m / A / F#m / D/B / E / D/B / E / A / F#m / A / F#m / D/B / E / D/B / E / Bridge: Bm / E / A A/G# F#m F#m/E Bm / E / D6sus4/G / D6/A / A/B / A /E / Chorus: A / F#m / D/B / E / x4 (FADE OUT) Note: I used a piano to transcribe this, so some of these chords may be difficult on other instruments (I'm looking at you, guitar). As far as the "D6sus4" chord, it's misleadingly and unnecessarily complicated sound. It's really just the first inversion (I think) of G major. So I played a G-octave on the left hand, and a D-G-B on the right hand. The D6/A is just an A-octave bass and D-F#-B with the right hand. For the "A/B" I found a B-octave bass and first inversion of A sounded decent. Title: Re: TWGMTR Chords Post by: hypehat on June 11, 2012, 01:06:03 PM Man, you did it properly - i just fecked about on my uke!
Pro-tip - if you do play it on a ukelele, as per the recording, you have to play it really high up the neck to get the right voicings- essentially imagine you're playing it in G with a capo on the second fret. Title: Re: TWGMTR Chords Post by: Manchini on June 11, 2012, 02:29:20 PM Spring Vacation

Once I get the album through and if there are any others left, will work out the chords for them and post ;D Title: Re: TWGMTR Chords Post by: Fall Breaks on June 12, 2012, 04:44:53 AM Thanks all - hope others find this useful aswell!
