FAITHLESS Tablature......

[RENODIVORCE]

The song Faithless..
Any of you guitar gurus wanna take a crack at tabing this thing out?
Holy cow, he's all over the place on this one.
Mike might have used every chord in the book.
Great song.

Don't get me wrong, Mike is a great song writer, but he uses the same 3 or 4 chords for every song. And Faithless is no exception. Now that I think about it, Mike's one of the few that can actually write a good song with only 2 chords.

Yeah, Mike must have busted out some Jazz chords on that song. I think I heard an E Major 6th Flat 5 add 9th chord. It's the same 3-4 chords (I, IV, IV, and relative minor in any given key). You'd know if he threw in anything other than a major or minor chord. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Like I said earlier, he's a great song writer. With a busted up index finger I doubt he can even play any complex chords, not that he needs to anyway.

JTD1972, where did you study music? I was just wondering because there were a few things in your last post that make me think you werent paying attention in class. I understand what your saying though.

[wolfpits]

funny, right when i posted my response, you changed your post.

[JTD1972]

Sorry Wolfpits, I was a little unclear on my first unedited post. I didn't get to read you're reply before I edited my post, I think I missed it by a 3 minutes (probably both typing at the same time). I edited my post at 2:42 and you replied at 2:45. I didn't intentionally edit my post in response to your post if that's what you were inferring. I edited it to make my post more clear. I didn't study music anywhere. All I'm trying to say is Mike didn't introduce any new chords into this song that he hasn't used in the past. I think that's pretty obvious.

i know bro. I posted my reply when you were editing your post to fix the things i was referring to but had not actually referred to them yet. Because if i had read that you had already edited your post, i would have immediately turned around and edited my post again to acknowledge the fact that you edited your post already. In the mean time, if you read my post talking about your post, then you probably would not have edited your post but rather made a new post responding to my unedited post. confused yet? LOL.

Huh. Wolfy, what the....?
wow. I know that you know the he knows and we all know that they know...got it?

[wolfpits]

couple of things. first, it seems like mike plays the same 3 or 4 chords because all rock music is derived from the blues, and blues would not be the blues if it werent for the 3 familiar chords known as the I-IV-V. Take any key and the major chords are the I-IV-V. Mike may not have had any formal music training, but many of his influences where old delta blues players

As for faithless (one of my favorites). I havent tried to learn it yet but it has a very familiar "circle of 5th's" kind of progression to it. I will go home and pick up my guitar tomorrow and see if im right. Ill get back to you reno.

Yeah, I'm no guitar player but I'd have to say he did some funky stuff this time...not the same 3-4 chord song we usually hear.That should be obvious
