Two options this month, the fun one and the rather silly one. 1. Gimme Chords! Here's three chords, G D/F# A - use 'em as you like. However you like, wha...

The Guitar Talk - Gimme Chords Challenge!!!

Since everyone is diving into the chords used:
The guitar was strumming the following. 4 Bars per line.
G5, D/F#, A x2
G5, D/F#, Em
D/F#
Bm
C, Bm
A
G5,D/F#,A x2
D
The bass basically played a melody over the chords.

I actually drew quite a bit of inspiration from Joan Baez's version of Dangling conversation.

I think this challenge was quite challenging. @V8 Where did your inspiration come from with this one?
The key was D major as far as I could tell, which made resolving to the 1 chord very challenging with the D/F# thrown in there. I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for the challenge!

And as for the Cheese, blame @domhatch

Hehehe, I was wondering if anyone would ask...

AC/DC!!!

I jest not, them three chords are the backbone of a good few AC/DC songs (Back in Black, It's a long way). I really was curious if anyone was gonna point it out - they sound pretty darn good with a bit 'o gain...?

But can be fingerpicked or strummed and still sound really cool and interesting.

Well lets just say some of the tracks singing made me realise that my singing might not be that bad. ???

V8

RodneyVikens There's a reason why the forum is 'Guitar Talk' and not 'Idol's Chatter' ?

I think @Yeti is the only one around here who actually does sing a bit - the rest of us just have fun (At least I try).

haha, if you don't try, you'll never improve.

Had some fun with it.

I actually want to get some proper vox training, but I just don't have the time..

V8 I love it. I am always scared to sing as that is not my main focus. I'll rather just play.

Haha, that's how I feel about guitar. ?

RodneyVikens

Yeti So where is your track? =)

Yeti

RodneyVikens
I had to sit this one out unfortunately. Just a little too much going on... hope to get back in on the next one.

RodneyVikens

Yeti please send me a link to your soundcloud or previous tracks recorded (if you don't mind)

Yeti oh wow! You CAN sing! Your stuff sound great man!

Yeti

RodneyVikens Cheers mate, that's good of you to say. Singing is very much my first instrument but trying to improve my guitar and overall musicianship. Really dig your entry here too by the way, sounds fantastic.

RodneyVikens

RCVN I guess that we can all agree on. There is just not enough time... Sadly.
