Topic: Its Not Mine

SO I did some experimenting and learned that if you use this shape:

l-x
l-x
l-x
l-3-
l-3-
l-1-
      and slide it to different positions on the fret board, you can make any chord you want and it gives it a nice 'heavy' sound..... perhaps I have discovered a power chord? I don't know much about this kind of thing and I call everything by the wrong names...
ANYWAY, for this song you use this 'power chord' thingy instead of the full chords.

5th fret on E,A, and D strings = A
3rd Fret on E,A and D strings = G
3rd fret but move it up to the A,D and G strings = C

Whenever you come to G, slide back into the A
(If you decide to just use whole chords, use Am)
I play this on acoustic, but you could probly do it on electric too....



Chordpro error: This is not a valid artistname. You will have to specify an artistname in the form {st: Artistname} in the beginning of the code.

Yes, that's a power chord, or more accurately a 5th chord.
There's also another one which is:

l-x
l-x
l-3-
l-3-
l-1-
l-x-

And works exactly the same way. I know 'cause it's one of the few chords I can play! lol

Re: Its Not Mine

Last Rebel,

Such a good song. It reminded me of this story.
I had a elderly friend for many years. A real salt of the earth person.  She never lived with any illusions. worked hard all her life.
One of her sons went to Australia. He did exceptionally well for himself. She was very proud of this but never wanted him to lose sight of reality.
On his last visit home he showed her some plans for this mansion of a house
he was building in Australia. Every now and again she would say" And whats
this here, A bathroom Ma! Puffing out his chest with pride. And this ? another bathroom Ma! after he counted out 5 bathrooms in total. She said" God son isnt it an awful pity God only gave you one A## H##e.  lol
