Sycophant

[rock39]

can anyone give me the tab or the chords to this masterpiece

[Pete]

just had a random stab at it, using that acoustic version in that hotel room...you should know the one

(using 'power chord' shapes)

C#: 9 11 11 X X X
Bb: 6 8 8 X X X
G#: 4 6 6 X X X

X=muted strings


you should be able to sign along with it, the whole song is just them 3 chords

[sirmavers]

Ooooh, never tried Sycophant, never thought about it. Just written that down and will try when I'm downstairs Thanks mate.

[sirmavers]

Works a treat

[rock39]

Yes thanks guys

[dontask]

[rock39]

[dontask]

[Sean]

can anyone do it as in like;

C D B
ill never dance with a sycophant

thats all i understand how to play

[sirmavers]

Just do it as the oroginal power chords suggest Sean, dead easy. Strum right at the bottom the of the strings and it sounds mega.

[hoggy]

hi, wot do u mean by strumming the bottom strings please??

[sirmavers]

Not the bottom strings, the bottom OF the strings. So further away from the neck, right down at the bottom of the guitar, if you're right handed then strum further tot he right like. The firther down there, th sharper the sound you get, just suits the song nicely.
