Rhythm Guitar Chords

Chords: F#m, A, D, C#7

Key Takeaways

  • There are only 4 guitar chords in the entire song!
  • This song is in 3/4 time, so it has a swing feel to it.
  • The guitar chords can be strummed on the downbeat of each measure in the live version of this song.
  • The C#7 guitar chord gives the each section the feeling of “build up” because C# is the fifth note in the F#m minor scale. As a result, the C#7 dominant 7 chord naturally sounds like it needs to be resolved to the tonic (1 chord).

Guitar Solo Scale | Minor Pentatonic

Because this solo is in the key of F#m, the soloist is using the F#m minor pentatonic scale.

Ear Training Practice

When it comes to ear training, practice the following:

  1. Use your ear to hear if the song is happy (major) or sad (minor).
  2. Carefully listen for the root note (F#) of the song. The easiest way to decipher the root note is by listening to the bass notes.
  3. Practice playing the chords using a metronome in 3/4 timing to master that “swing” feel. As a result, your rhythm guitar strumming will have a jazzy swing feel.
