[F#m] _ [D] What up guys, Mike Gross, rocking guitars.com.
That's Molly [C#] Hatchet _ with Beating the Odds, per request of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1thesian, _ _ _ S-I-A-N, if I got that right.
It's an older [A#] request, it just got to it.
Tune standard and here's what's happening.
It's got that old blues, [G] you know, type of [A] progression. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [C#] So [Cm] you'll probably [A#] recognize this if you've played the blues [F] before, but they're just
doing a variation.
There's tons of variations of this type of progression.
[G#] _
Open A, 2nd fret D, hit strings 5 and [A] 4, _ _ and then 2 open A's.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
Then hit the 4th fret D, _ _ _ _ _ and then [F#] 2 open A's. _
And then 5th fret [Gm] D.
_ [E] So, _ [G] _ _ [G#] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] short rest there, [A] open A, _ _ _ 4th fret [F#] D, _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [G] _
choose what fingers [C] you
want to use on this, go 3A, hammer to the 4th fret, hammer on, do that twice.
[C#] _ _ _ _ [A] So we got, _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [A] start it over, _ _ _ [Am] _ _ up to the [Em] 5th fret D, and then go A, [A] D, _ _ and _ [G] then back to the
A.
And then we're going to hit a D chord, 5A, _ [D] 7D, 7G. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So, that's the first one.
[E] Okay, the next one starts the same way, [A] _ _ up _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
to [Am] the 5th fret D, and then you go [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] 0, _ _ 3, [A] on the A, _ _ [D] and then 5A, 7D, 7G, it's a D chord. _ Move it a whole step flat [C] to 3, 5, 5, A, D, and G. So that little, that'd be a good [Am] subgroup just going. [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
So here's that [N] whole first progression that goes on for a long [A] time. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Okay? _ [Em] _ _ _ Then, when it does change, you go _ like this. [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] So 3, 5 on the E, [A] _ _ _ [C] 3A, _ _ _ _ and then [A] 5, 3E, [G] _ _ [Am] and _ _ _ [G#] then open A, 2nd fret D, hit [A] them together. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] And then 5A, 7D, [D] 7G, _ _ _ let it ring, and then hit it again, [C] _ _ and move it over to 3, 5, 5, A, D, G. So, [A] _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
then start it over [E] from the 3rd fret A, _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ and then [F#] 5E, 3E, [A] _ _ _ _ and then open A, 2nd fret D, _ _ and then two of them like you did before. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[E] And then you actually then hit a G [G] major. _ _ _ _ _ Did I [A] sound out of tune? _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ Maybe not. [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [E] Oh yeah, you'll finish it off the A5 power chord, [A] then you go to G. _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ And that G is 3E, 2A, open D, [F] open G, _ 3B, 3E, or you can go open B, [G] 3E. _ Okay? So that's [A#] Molly Hatchet. _ [N] What was the name of the song? Beating the Odds.
