what song goes G D Em C ?
Jesse James Jensen
all the chords of is G, I try putting them together in different ways.
Some ways sound like crap, but two strums each of G D Em C sounds pretty
good. Also, familiar, but I can't quite place it. What well-known song
or songs use this progression?

song was the chord progression of G D Em C, also, BE LIKE THAT by three
doors down is basically this progressoin, only you leave your ring finger on
the third fret of the second string for every chord so the chords are as
follows
G-320033
D-xx0232
Em-022030
C-x32030
I think the c is called Cmaj2 or something like that, that is an awesome
song. its all picking single strings.
well have fun.

Glycerine by Bush was the first one that popped into my mind.
(Actually, "popped" is a bit of an exaggeration. It didn't make any
sound at all.)
It may be played a whole tone lower, and use sus2 chords if ya like,
and its often strummed more than twice per note, and..........after
further consideration I suspect my mind was just playing with itself.

In technical terms, that's like a I-IV-V-vi progression isn't it,
or a I-IV-V with a relative minor or some odd crap.
That Matchbox 20 song "Push" goes like that.

F#,C#, D#, B, but I'd have to play each note one fret up, as if I was
playing G,D,E,C under normal tuning. I don't have the CD, so you might be

I like it. there are some really good player\writers who couldn't tell you

Albert King comes to mind. I think he also played left-handed on a right

isn't bad, but it can be real good when it's done by guys like King (rip).

Stevie was recording with Albert one, hmmmm it was probably the session for that

"how much?" Albert goes "About $3,000." So Stevie gave it to him. I'm not sure
if Stevie had second thoughts about it from what I read but after recording he's
like "Hey, Albert, do you still have that money?" "What money?" "The $3,000 I
loaned you." "I didn't see no money."

First thing I thought of when hearing those chords is Superman by Ben
Blows Five. What is that? Some kinda poofter anthem? My second
thought was "Celine music!", at least untill I remembered the
hilarious lines from the movie Clueless w/ Alicia Silverstone:
(Cher) Yuck! The maudlin music of the university station?
(Cher) Wah wah wah!
(Cher) Yuck! What is it about college and crybaby music?

I've got two other songs titled superman. The group Bush (heavy
thrash distortion, good stuff, at least until he married the singer of
No Doubt, and sits around on the couch with people Johnny Depp, also
an "amateur" guitar player), then and of course, there's -the- classic
Superman, as done by The Kinks.

Not, of course, that I necessarily need believe any more, nor less,
than to draw a few inferences from past interviews Michael
conveniently provided publications.
It's sort of like, as might you prefer, Michael never actually was
huddled in the back of van with a musical group named REM, getting
freaky about AIDS in a prison population, all around him, doing the
damnedest things imaginable -- perhaps but for later down the line to
come a decision to recant and admit, before yet another publisher,
that he does like a homosexual, well, not to be entirely or altogether
casual about being just opportunistically among sorts of a bisexual
persuasion, then;-- inasmuch for whom, ought I foremost take to such
aspects unbelievably posed, mere fluff to you, apparent decorative
'lorem-ipsum' fit to a minor on sidenotes for the wallpaper... is it
that Michael has committed a grievous error, that to have quoted him
farther makes Michael yet less believable, or, have I said something
unspeakable to transgress upon Michael as he chooses to represent
himself as a man suited to publishers;- perhaps, after all . . .is it
all about nothing, really, much more than what you care to believe?

Oh, Life is bigger

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
But that was just a dream

chord progressions.
There's three different renditions listed at the bottom*, right off
the bat. I suppose it means, aside Joe Blow's transposition, to sing
the song more or less in faith to a singer tribute, note for note, and
hope you've a decent/interesting enough voice to pull something off.
Obviously, nobody cares what the guitar's doing if it's not too loud,
or the selected chords, pulled out of a fuzzy rabbit hat, aren't too
(way farout) discordantly arranged. Other than that, perhaps in
ignoring a sound basis in chord substitutions and music theory, then
just make up your own.
Worse players no doubt have played in better by far situations.
(Note to note transposers in technological terms are an available tool
for "breaking it down": However, it's lead, one and on to the next
lead note for analysis;- chords, oth, no such animal exists in
analytical terms, per se, as an instrument capable of distinguishing a
bunch of notes directly ontop one another;- as a conjuncture of finger
to fretboard positioning that would take so much more - from a
renowned and expert musician with proverbial "ears of gold." Now go
and pick one. Just kidding - don't you think it'd be one hell'va dull
ol' world if everybody played the same shit, note for note?)
