- Used to Love Her,
- by Guns and Roses, from Lies
-
-
- This is the first song I ever learned with chords. Fairly simple.
- It uses only three basic chords:
-
- D A G
- ====== ====== ======
- |||||| |||||| |||||| <== other fingerings are possible for these
- |||1|2 ||111| |1|||| three, but these are the easiest for me.
- ||||3| |||||| 2||||3
-
-
- Now strum along with the album, about 5 strums per chord letter in time:
- (I'm not sure if my chord/word sync is perfect here, it's been a while)
-
-
- D A G A
-
- I used to Love her, but I had to Kill her (repeat as necessary)
-
-
- G A G A G D
-
- She bitched so much, she drove me nuts, and now we're happier this way.
-
-
- Or something like that. The order of the chords at Nevada is
- accurate, if mine are not.
-
- The album is tuned down 1/2 step. What that means is that each one of
- the strings on Izzy's guitar was tuned one semitone lower in pitch than
- "standard" (A=440 hz) tuning when playing. So on the album what you actually
- hear instead of D A G A, etc is Dflat Aflat Gflat, etc, even though it's
- physically played in the exact same way.
-
-
- b = bend at first note to the pitch of the second note
- r = release to second note from the pitch of first note
- [] = note is not struck
- () = optional note
-
- Tune down 1/2 step

- First Solo
- D A G A
