ICQ - Chorus
🕑 Added 2022-04-02 17:20:10 +0000 UTCIt is absolutely bonkers that we haven't gone over ICQ yet, so I'm today going to fix this!
This is a funky rhythm section. It's all about getting the strumming and the muting right. Broadly speaking, I'm just playing common triad shapes on the top 3 strings while letting the right hand go ham.
.....
When learning these shapes it's important to let your right hand strum more freely and not just be limited to the top 3 strings. In order to do this, take any unused fingers in the chords (mostly your 3rd and 4th finger), and block the bottom 3 strings with them. Then you can strum as wide and as energetically as possible, and the lower strings won't produce any ugliness when you hit them.
.....
ATTN: any theory-heads out there. The chords are like this:
Am11 Fmaj7 Dmin7 Fmaj Gmaj
|| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / ||
One thing to note is that I've decided to play the triads above some of the chords. For example, Fmaj7, consists of F A C E. Instead of playing the whole thing, I just play A C and E, since the bass has the F note covered already. So it may look like I'm playing an A minor triad, but in reality it's part of this bigger 7th chord.

I love how the chords sound together in this one! Altogether it sounds like something that plays over a montage of the main characters having the Best Day Ever. Gonna have fun with this one! :)
