SONIC REDUCER (dead boys via Pearl Jam)
the main chord progression is pretty easy C#-G#-A-F# (power chords of course)
this is during the lines
I don't need anyone, don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no good advice, don't need no human rights
I got some news for you, don't even need you too
this is the one i can't figure out,there is a transition progression inbetween
the verse and chorus. I can't figure out anything that sounds good. the line is
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream
then for the chorus i play g-4/6-6------- (I don't have my guitar
D-4/6-6-6-7--- with me so i can't remember
A-2/4-4-6-7--- the exact strums but those
E-------4-5--- are the chords)
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer...
I don't know if that's right at all but it sounds okay, can anybody give
me a hint on what the chords are between the verse and chorus? thanks
