May 10th, 2004 05:07 AM
ben c Ive been playing guitar for a year so am not to good at identifing chords by ear and I can find a tab for Undercover..
So can anyone please tell what the 3 main chords in undercover are.. Any other info will be a great help..
Are there any Guitar web sites out there for Keith wanna be's....?

Thanks

Mel Belli The Mick rhythm part is in open-G ... He plays a F-Bb figure on the 10th fret and goes to the 5th fret for the root of C.

On the chorus, he slips back and forth between a Bb on the 3rd fret and the aforementioned C chord.

So, if you know how to do the Keith thing -- barring with your index finger and playing the 4 chord with your middle and ring fingers -- then you've got "Undercover of the Night."

Mel Belli I don't know how to post tab, but others here do. Make sure you keep the post high, and someone will notice it.

ben c Thanks for the original reply...

Another question is thru and thru played in open G on the 4 flicks dvd ??

Any way if anyone can tab the chord fingerings for undercover would be a great help !..

Mel Belli "Thru and Thru" is in standard tuning, actually, on both the DVD and "Voodoo Lounge."

Just take your regular A chord and move it up two frets to the B chord for the main riff. I remember a guitar mag calling it a "haiku" figure when it came out.

I also remember Keith saying he was piss-drunk when he wrote and recorded it.

Mel Belli You changed the post with the spot-on grammar! "...the same message board as he" was correct. You almost never see people get that right, and you went and edited it!

Dead Flower Cardinal Fang knows this stuff too. You have to catch him on a good day because he gets many requests. If he likes you he will help you. I met him at one of his concerts almost two years ago. These two girls were buying him drinks and I didn't want to interupt but he was so nice about it and later thanked me for saving him! I asked him bootleg questions and he knew all the answers. He also played Child Of The Moon at that concert and it was really cool. The man knows his stuff!
