Play the E chord after the F# Chord which is in most tab sites for this song, and put your thumb over onto the F# note on the E string, and it makes a different chord which sounds okay - it works somehow and sounds legit, not sour and undoable.

Here's the chord itself, Eadd9 ... http://www.8notes.com/guitar_chord_chart/Eadd9.asp

Now I've only used logic here, and have no musical theory training, at least not in guitar. Play the E the way you always do, but put your thumb where it says 2.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/nivana-live/#post-365045 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/nivana-live/#post-365021 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 04:07:54 +0000 Thanks too by the way]]> Guitar Players Discussion Brak https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/nivana-live/#post-365021 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/nivana-live/#post-365018 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 03:33:25 +0000
But I learned the song this week to put different distortions to it.

Begining with F#, I'd say Kurt has a pretty tight grip on the normal E there, both vids, and at 1:45 though you can't see it till after. He wraps his thumb over the low E string too on an F# note? The bass is really active or has more than a beat but a melody which throws us off. I think in the chorus, Kurt changes his G voicing from standard/open to barre and back, to look cool, as if he's "on it" and really playing with some variation.

He has had credit as a good guitarist, believe it or not, probably for holding his own, or supporting the music in a power trio, where it's pretty minimalist :?:

The song is "dive" and I have tried playing the Echord to the Fmajor, but in alot of the live videos kurt is playing some other chord...at least it looks like it. In video "1" at a minute and 45 seconds in is the sound Im trying to achieve. Here in video "2" it is easier to see, as it is ariel and in front of the stage( much better view)
