Re: Mixing Chords
what do you mean by that? there's alot of basic not power chords that won't sound good in distortion, like the power chords.

Re: Mixing Chords
Yeah Deryck does that on a few songs. In Over My Head, he usually plays a D/A chord instead of D5v.sprinks41 wrote:do guitarists ever mix power chords with basic chords in songs? i thought i remembered seeing Deryck do it a few times when playing live, but i couldnt tell...

Don't worry, I had to look those names up from one of my Sum 41 tab books; I'm pretty crummy with chord names too.Hentaiman wrote:^

D/A
e|2
B|3
G|2
D|0
A|0
E|--
D5v
e|--
B|--
G|7
D|7
A|5
E|--
I'm pretty sure D/A is pretty much the same as Dm, except you don't strum the open 5th string with Dm. All chords including "5" are powerchords and the "v" (Roman Numeral) just tells you the fret that it's played on.
