I need a bit of help from you more experienced guys to help me figure out how I can change a chord sequence that I just cannot seem to get my fingers around, into something I can, but still get it to sound reasonable. It's the one from Zep's Heartbreaker, that comes in around 2.45 straight after the solo. I'm looking for a cheat, basically.

Does that make sense?

Should you be performing these acrobatics in your condition?? b-(

chillidoggy · August 2013

Probably not, but I've managed to persuade 'er indoors to drive me to a rehearsal tomorrow, and she's carrying the gear. Top bird!

Chilli, your missus is awesomes. Go tell her I said that.

chillidoggy · August 2013

She knows. So, any other methods of skinning the above cat? Or am I stuck?

mike_l · August 2013

Other than chocolates and flowers, I have no idea.

And the Led Zepp thing, no idea on that either. Other than feedback and Floyd abuse

I don't have a Floyd, and I took the handle off the Bigsby ages ago, I just got in the way.

What aspect do you find difficult?

If it's the fretting I guess you could reduce it to just the D and G strings (or G and B maybe - whatever sounds better). So basically you can slide up and down with one finger.

If it's the picking use pick/thumb and finger(s) to do just the D, (optionally G as well) and B strings - probably the approach I'd take with it.

It's the fretting. I can't seem to get my fingers to swop around fast enough, they're in one orientation for the first chord as shown above, then they change around, and have to go back again. Difficult to explain really but on the first 0-2-0-2 chord the fingers are in one orientation, and the next 0-4-0-3, I have to change fingers, and swop the orientation, then it's the same on the way back down. it's the 0-4-0-3 change that's buggering me up at the moment. So I either do it as is, and risk sounding worse than I usually do, or fudge it somehow.

Not entirely sure what you're meaning Chilli, but if it's what I think then I suggest using fingers 2 & 3 for the 0-2-0-2, and fingers 1 & 2 for the 0-4-0-3. That way your hand is in one position all the way through the sequence.

This is how I'd play it

Lots of songs use that sequence. Quo Down Down, Bad Co Movin On, ACDC can't rmember the song name but I can play it!!!

Howdy, Stranger!
