how GHOST writes a song chords
Start Jamming...
Pa pa pa pa, Meritus, hanging out on Saturday morning.
These guys are dicks.
Where are the Ghostbusters Busters is what I want to know.
[C] In nomine [Ab] Satanus!
Oh!
Yes, my lord, what do you wish of us?
I command you to write a rocking jam.
It [C] shall be done.
Begin the ritual now.
All right, boys, it's time to get to work.
The boss has ordered us to write a new song.
Here we [Bb] go.
[B] [Bb]
The first [C] thing we have to do is to pick the tempo.
Ha ha ha ha.
Just kidding.
It's going to be [Bb] 130, just like every other song we write.
Show [Dm] me what you got.
[E] [Eb] [A]
[Eb] Wait, which one of you is [G] the guitar who?
[Ab] Are you guys trying to pull a parent trap on [D] me?
Get back to your spot.
I should start making you guys wear name tags or something.
This is getting ridiculous.
Okay, we need a riff.
You know, one of those ones we have that sounds like slayer, but slower?
[E] [Db] [D] [Db]
[A] [G] [Dm]
[A] [Ab] Okay, yeah, that sounds good.
Very evil sounding.
Drum ghoul, do that thing where it's just the kick drum.
Okay, now add [D] hi-hat.
[E]
[Db] [D] [Eb] [Db] [A] Yes.
Okay, we need to give it an ending where you, like, all play the same thing [Cm] together.
[E] [Eb]
[D] Now I think it needs something right here.
Give me an ominous piano note.
An ominous note?
All right.
This one?
Ominous-er.
Ominous-er?
Yes, that one.
Very [Am] ominous.
Good job.
I feel like it needs a little choir in there.
All right, you two, let me hear you sing like a beautiful choir.
Ah.
Oh, jeez.
We'll work on that for later.
Papa likes the mellotron better anyways.
What?
It's a cool vintage sound.
It fits our aesthetic.
Keyboard ghoul, play an epic chord right here.
[E]
[Eb] [Dm] Cool, good job, guys.
That's a good riff, I think.
Very important to have a good riff.
But a very wise man once told me that a riff is not a song.
I killed him later, but not because he said that.
Let's write the chorus next.
Keyboard ghoul, we need lots of cool chords.
[Am]
No, not [Gb] that ghoul.
We need major, minor.
[Dbm] Sus chord resolve.
[E]
Sus chord resolve.
Sus chord resolve to [Gm] minor.
[Dm] Then sus chord no resolve.
[Ebm]
We leave this [N] one unresolved for Satan.
Hail Satan.
Okay, but it sounds kind of empty.
Where is bass ghoul?
Right here, boss.
Sorry, I can't really play today.
Why is that?
I kind of hurt myself.
Oh.
Holy hand grenade, what happened to you?
It was a jet ski accident.
A jet ski?
What the hell were you doing on a jet ski?
I have a life outside of the clergy, you know.
Okay, well, go rest and get better.
It's so hard to find good ghouls these days.
I have to do everything myself.
And I'm the freaking evil pope.
I guess Papa gonna have to play the keyboard bass then.
They program bass in EDM all the time and it's fine.
I know we are not EDM, but what a genre of music are we?
Let's check and see what they say about us on the internet.
Scooby -Doo chase music?
Actually, that's pretty accurate.
[D] I like it when the first verse is just bass and drums with a little something else.
Let's try that.
Drum ghoul, give me a beat.
[N]
[Db] Now play me a guitar solo, but no shredding.
If you shred, you're dead.
You saw what happened to bass ghoul, right?
No [Bb] shredding.
[Am] [F]
[Em] [Dm] [Am]
[C] [Bb] [A]
Yeah.
[Bb] All [F]
[C] [Bb] [F]
[C] [Dm]
right, you guys, I think we got it.
Everybody, take five.
What about the middle eight?
I don't think this needs a bridge, right?
The Dark Lord needs us to finish this song tonight.
The guitar solo is the bridge.
Papa, what about the lyrics?
What's the song about?
Don't worry about it.
Satan will fax us the lyrics soon.
It's always the same stuff.
Catholic iconography.
Different names for Satan.
Spooky Halloween stuff.
And we'll figure out the ending on the night.
