I have been working on this song that last couple of days. Everything is starting to gel except that C5, C#5 chord sequence. It just sounds wrong to me. Ive played with the timing and Ive tried to playing the full barres as well. It just doesn't seem to fit. Yet when I looked at a few tabs on the net, the same chords are used. Anyone else find that those chords seem wrong, or do I just need more sleep?]]> Easy Songs MaxRumble https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/jack-johnson-flake/#post-193902 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/jack-johnson-flake/#post-191956 Thu, 03 Aug 2006 15:11:38 +0000 Flake The chords used: Dm F Bb C5 A Fm C#5 B5 E-----5------1---------------------5-------1-------------------| B-----6------1---------------------5-------1-------------------| G-----7------2-------3------5------6-------1------6-----4------| D-----7------3-------3------5------7-------3------6-----4------| A-----5------3-------1------3------7-------3------4-----2------| E------------1---------------------5-------1-------------------| Play the introduction and verse like this: Dm F Bb E--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x--------x---------x- B--6--6-x---6---6-6---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x--------x---------x- G--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---2--2-x---2---2-2-x---3--3-x--3--3-3-x- D--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x---3--3-x--3--3-3-x- A--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x---1--1-x--1--1-1-x- E--------x------------x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x--------x---------x- F C5 E-----1--1-x----1----1-1----x---------------| B-----1--1-x----1----1-1----x---------------| G-----2--2-x----2----2-2----x----5-------*--| Repeat D-----3--3-x----3----3-3----x----5-------*--| A-----3--3-x----3----3-3----x----3----------| E-----1--1-x----1----1-1----x---------------| NOTE: When going into the chorus, (the last verse line) the verse goes like this Dm F Bb E--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x---------x---------x- B--6--6-x---6---6-6---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x---------x---------x- G--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---2--2-x---2---2-2-x----3--3-x--3--3-3-x- D--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x----3--3-x--3--3-3-x- A--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x----1--1-x--1--1-1-x- E--------x------------x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x---------x---------x- C5 E----------x------------x----| B----------x------------x----| G-----5--5-x---5---5-5-x-----| D-----5--5-x---5---5-5-x-----| A-----3--3-x---3---3-3-x-----| E----------x------------x----| Then the CHORUS goes like this: F C5 C#5 Dm E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x----------x-----5--5-x--5--5-5-x- B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x----------x-----6--6-x--6--6-6-x- G--2--2-x--2---2-2--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x---6-7--7-x--7--7-7-x- D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x---6-7--7-x--7--7-7-x- A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x---4-5--5-x--5--5-5-x- E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x----------x----------x---------x- A Bb B5 C5 E--5--5-x--5---5-5--x--------x----------x-----------x----------x- B--5--5-x--5---5-5--x--------x----------x-----------x----------x- G--6--6-x--6---6-6--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x---4--5--5-x--5--5-5--x- D--7--7-x--7---7-7--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x---4--5--5-x--5--5-5--x- A--7--7-x--7---7-7--x---1--1-x--1--1-1--x---2--3--3-x--3--3-3--x- E--5--5-x--5---5-5--x--------x----------x-----------x----------x- F C5 E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x-----------x----| B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x-----------x----| G--2--2-x--2---2-2--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x----*| REPEAT D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x----*| A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x-----| E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x-----------x----| For the Slide Solo Play this: Fm E----1--1-x---1----1-1----x----| B----1--1-x---1----1-1----x----| G----1--1-x---1----1-1----x---*| REPEAT D----3--3-x---3----3-3----x---*| A----3--3-x---3----3-3----x----| E----1--1-x---1----1-1----x----| After the Solo it goes like this: Fm E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- G--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x- A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x- E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- C5 Fm Bb E-------x-----------x--1--1-x---1---1-1--x--------x----------x- B-------x-----------x--1--1-x---1---1-1--x--------x----------x- G--5--5-x--5---5-5-x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---3--3-x--3---3-3-x- D--5--5-x--5---5-5-x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---3--3-x--3---3-3-x- A--3--3-x--3---3-3-x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---1--1-x--1---1-1-x- E-------x----------x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x--------x----------x- Fm C Fm E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-------x-----------x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--| B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-------x-----------x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--| G--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--5--5-x---5---5-5-x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-*| D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x--5--5-x---5---5-5-x--3--3-x--3---3-3--x-*| A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x--3--3-x---3---3-3-x--3--3-x--3---3-3--x--| E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-------x-----------x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--| REPEAT.
