Figuring Out 'Resistance' by Muse with Chord Pickout
Dear Guitar Player, Today I'll show you how to pick out chords to a song that has been very popular recently, 'Resistance' by Muse. You can listen to it online on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=muse+resistance Personally, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to figure out the chords to it as 'Resistance' involves more instruments, and more chord progressions, complicating Chord Pickout's job. This makes it hard for the software to guess the right chords. After I opened the song and saw the intro chords were completely out of tune, I thought I'd spend ages trying to find the right chords in all that chaos. However, I was very surprised as the whole song took me only 15 minutes to master using Chord Pickout. It is the exact time of listening to the song 3 times (excluding that synth intro). I did a very simple thing after I hit 'play'. I just started to play every chord the program suggests. If it was out of tune then I heard it, and tried to play other chords it suggested. And ultimately I realized the same chord pattern repeats again and again - it was Am-G-F-E. There were only little changes to these chords during the song, and I completely figured out all of them by listening to 'Resistance' 3 times. And this was not rocket science - I just played the chords that sounded in tune, and didn't play the ones that didn't. "That was quick," I thought when clicking 'stop' and taking off my earphones. Here are the chords I got: Am-G-F-E - verse F-Am-G-F - bridge C-G-Am-G-F-E - chorus C-G F-Am-G F-Am-G F-Am-G E-F - the last verse ("The night has reached its end...") A-Dm-A-Dm-C-G-A: "Take us away from here.." - yes, the tonality changed (A major appeared)! Finally they just slide into F: A-B-C-D-F And that's it! Chord Pickout makes it easier to discover chord tabulation using the MP3 song file alone. It reveals the structure of a song and how the chords sound.
