aight so i dont really wanna make a new thread so tell me what you guys think of a song that i have in progress, im really bad at coming up with shit so any tips would be appreciated as well

i only have a chord progression right now and i like how it sounds, but i cant really come up with anything else

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------10-----------10----------10---------10--------10--------10---------10--------10--------------------- x2

------11-----11---11----11----11---11---11---11--11---11--11----11--11---11--11----11----------------

--13------------13-----------11---------11---------9----------9----------8----------9--------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

each chord is strummed for four beats and after the third on the Am its a palmmute

Fmaj C G Am

----------0---------0----------3-----------0------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------1---------1----------3-----------1------------------------------------------------------------------------ x2

----------2---------0----------0-----------2------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3---------2----------0-----------2---------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------0---------3----------2-----------0----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------0---------0----------3-----------0----------------------------------------------------------------------------

now i dont know what to add after this, it doesnt even sound that good as it is but whatever

 

[wdbo.]

well first of all it's not bad

but that is not an Fmaj nor is that other one a C nor is the next one an Am who taught you your chords boy?

 

[Dustin.]

learn your chords! and that wasn't a bad start, play with it and add stuff in where it feels right. don't be so rigid with it.

 

[freezed]

wait.....that IS a C, and the other one is an Am...or am I just reading it wrong?

 

[mad_540_trix]

um, that IS a C, and the one labelled as Am IS Am.

F should be played like this (EADGBe): 133211

 

[thefilmerguy]

yeah all those chords ARE right, i dont know what your talking about, one note is out of place by accident, where did you guys learn your chords, the top line is the high e and bottom is low e, and it is an f major not f, i know what f is, if you play it with an f it sounds bad, play f major

 

[wdbo.]

well there are different ways to play chords

 

[thefilmerguy]

aight then how does everybody else play there Am's and C's and Fmaj's? there are ways to play other chords but how does everyone do them...without barring

 

[wdbo.]

Am: (first fret) C (first fret): Fmaj (first fret);

1 - - 1 - - 1 - -

- 2 - - - - - 2 -

- 2 - - 2 - - - 3

- - - - 3 - - - -

the problem i had with your Fmaj is that to me it is a Fmaj6

 

[thefilmerguy]
