Built 4 Love (Pre Chorus)
🕑 Added 2020-07-16 19:24:12 +0000 UTCHello, Phobo-punks. More chonkiness this week. Take off your sleeves and get ready to rock out on this one.
TAB is attached as a PDF and Guitar Pro file.
...
The chords are as follows:
G minor - A diminished - Bb major - C major
G minor - A diminished - Bb major - C major - A major/C# - D major
Clearly there's a lot of information here - but sometimes as a guitar player you don't want to think about these details, you just want to be a punk and rock out. Because of this, you're only going to play the lowest notes of each chord, and it's going to sound extra rock n roll. So for the G minor, we're palm muting the note G. For the A diminished, we're palm muting the A. You don't give a damn about the rest of those stinkin' chords.
Also, you're going to palm mute this riff because you know it will sound extra menacing this way. You're only going to use downstrokes too, because then you have gravity at your side making the notes sound extra consistent and tuff.
In the middle of bar 2 and 6, there's some hammer ons thrown in to spice it up. You'll lift the palm mute here to emphasize these, because that's going to sound pretty badass.
Towards the end at bar 9, you'll start lifting your palm on beats 2 and 4 and playing 2 note power chords, to really start building up the intensity. This is to let the listener know that you're not messing around, and you're willing to put it all on the line.
...
That's the part in a nutshell. Good luck with this, and I'm going to say this one more time: please do not wear sleeves when practicing this. Drop any questions or comments below.
Thanks!

Exactly, good observation!

It's going up the G minor scale, that's cool! Gonna turn my amp up to 11 for this one!!
This one’s got crumch to it. I love getting the theory behind these songs — thanks for being so detailed! It helps activate the otherwise long dormant music theory part of my brain
What an amazing song! Bless NSP and TWRP for this epic tune!!
Thanks Dezzi. I'm Lord Phobos II, though. You're thanking the wrong guy!

Lots of really good technique stuff in this one! I was intimidated by the video but once you break it down, it looks totally manageable--I'll give this one a try when I practice tonight! That's the only way to find out if I can, right? :) Thanks for the lesson, teach!
Hey Wayne! We're going to be putting one up every few weeks. Next one will be up at the start of August.

Upped my pledge! Thank you Lord Phobos I love this song so much!!!!
