I'd like some feedback on the chords played in two sections of WL. Firstly the opening riff where I play G to Dm (played in the F shape with your little finger on the d on the second string). Music sheets say G to F. Secondly, in the section following the intro in the bit that's only played once there's a place where the music sheets go from Dm to Fm and then to C and Em before commencing the main tune again. For Dm and Fm I've been playing Fm and Bb9 (played across the 1st fret) then on to C and Em. Any comments please.

Hi, I don't go by music sheets, only by ear, and the intro chords are simply G and F. The other part is Dm Fm then Em, there is no Bb9 or C there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j9fJbkzheYRegards, Charlie |

Hi Mike. Thanks for the reply. my email is ken.adkinAThotmail.co.uk (replacing AT with @). Already had a reply from Charlie Hall and appears I'm playing the wrong chords. But that Bb9th sounds really sweet. Cheers, ken |

Thanks Charlie. Don't completely trust sheet music myself but that Bb9th sounds really sweet to me. Try it. Cheers, ken. |

The Bb9 WOULD sound OK depending on how you played it. The only real difference in first inversion (as you play it) is that the Fm has the F note (4th string 3rd fret) and the Bb9 is the same notes on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings but the 4th string is left open to ring as a D.

Hi Ken,
I already did try it. It sounds OK but it isn't on the original.
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Ian, Yes you're right the Bb9 does have that open D in it. However the lead solo does follow the 1st 2nd and 3rd string notes of the Bb9 before going to a G note (where I play a C and then an Em). I can't get my ears round that Dm before the Fm though, it just doesn't seem to sound right. Having just watched an old black and white shads vid on you tube I have to accept that I'm wrong. Bruce is clearly seem playing the chords I'm disputing. Thanks for your contribution. I think I need to practice more!! Ken |

Don't worry Tommy Emmanual didn't know the chords got Bruce to help him out. G & F are the intro then it goes G D F Dm C Am C Am F Dm Bb G C Em C F Dm C G Dm Fm Em for the verse. The muted bit is is C Em F G twice the C G F G Em www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV9IVbe-SK0Matthew |
