Hello all,
Can someone please tell me what this chord is and why does it sound "sour" but great at the same time. I've set the video to start right at the chord but maybe to get the feel you may need to backtrack a little. Click here to go straight to the chord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=org1ITRGGNg#t=51 And here if you want the whole song (The chord hits at 51 seconds in).

Kinda hard to tell exactly but I think it's an E chord with a Bb in it. That sour but cool sound is either a 1/2 or tri-tone rubbing against the tonic.
Maybe this or part of this ... X2230X = E(b5) -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

There's something about it that really makes it sound sour but sweeeeet, maybe an effect, I don't know, my ear isn't that good yet especially with distortion.
By the way, if you get chance to see this band live they are awesome, I've never EVER seen so much energy on stage, particularly from the rhythm guitarist. P PS. Cosmin I have been practising but just popped on to see if I have had any answers to this This post has been edited by Phil66: Aug 28 2014, 09:15 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

There's something about it that really makes it sound sour but sweeeeet, maybe an effect, I don't know, my ear isn't that good yet especially with distortion. No effect. That's a normal 'guitarism' and one of the cooler things about our instrument. It may be (probably is) an overdubbed guitar part to emphasize the part but it is definitely a B rubbing against a Bb. Most likely the open B string and a fretted Bb - 3rd string, 3rd fret. And it is also an E chord for the main harmony at that point. Do you know if they tune 'standard' or down tune or what? That can also affect the ease of which said part is played. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Yeah, I figured they were in drop Db (C#).
And yes - cool tune! Heavy on the 'Kings X' influence. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Currently favourite band, have them on all album random play in my car, the depth of the music is brilliant and the drummer is awesome.
Listen to the drumming in the chorus on this track, kicks in at 1:04 -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Never listened to King's X so far, but I'll have to give them a go for certain and Black Stone Cherry, I like them, generally, but never taken the time to listen too much. This song is killer and look at that PRS! I think you'll dig 'em ... This was their 'hit' (1992 - ?) This post has been edited by klasaine: Aug 30 2014, 10:46 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Hey Phil thanks for sharing these, mate I'll give'em a listen! Tell me, what are the most important elements that get you hooked to a band? Very very hard to say, catchy melodies I guess, even in metal. I like this But then I also really like this And I love this gentleman's music, could listen all day long Can I ask why you ask please?

Hey Phil, Of course you can Whenever we like some sort of music, there are certain elements which draw us to it and those elements are a common trait of character that define what we like about music. Thus, I can figure out what sort of lesson recommendations I can come up with later on when the lessons will be more like song passages which encompass a wider number of techniques and applied theory concepts/principles I thought that would be the case so what do you make of me with the last three videos?
