VISIONS by Stevie Wonder
Transcribed by Chris Corsale


These are the chords; one guitar strums and guitar fingerpicks/arpeggiates, so take your choice! In several cases the chord's bass note is included from the upright bass, making it harder to play than the actual guitar tracks from the recording, but it's so worth it.


GUITAR CHORDS USED:

Bm11: X20420 or Bm9: X20422 (used interchangeably)
C#m9: X46444

G13: 3X345X
D°add11: X5678X
C°add11: X3456X
F#7aug5: 2XX332
G#m7b5: 4X443X
F#sus4/C#: X4442X
F#m: XX4222
F#m/F: XX3222

INTRO:

||: Bm9* | C#m9 | Bm9* | C#m9 :||

*or Bm11 with the open 1st string

(The electric guitar, of course, does the octave slide from B to C# and back over the Bm9 chord, and from C# to D# and back over the C#m9 chord.)

T *think* these are correct, and I seriously hope there is a nice trick which would make these chords easier, for this seems hell to play...]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/visions/#post-68534 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/visions/#post-68530 Wed, 08 Sep 2004 01:42:30 +0000

I was just wondering what your opinions were on how to play the chords written in this interpretation. i havnt come across some of them before as my theory knowledge is limited. thanks for taking the time to look at this.
