Chords for How to Play "My Hero" by Foo Fighters on Guitar

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ What's up guys, it's Thomas from Radius and we're going to break down a little Foo Fighters
My Hero _ and man, this song has some really cool riffs.
You ready?
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ Two [E] chords are going to be E, _ open [B] E, second fret, second [E] fret, first fret, _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
then C sharp
but [Ab] with a G sharp in the bass.
[Abm]
So hold this across all of them and just the middle strings will do six on six and six
[Abm] and the rest are [Ab] fours. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ Man, tricky little riff.
Alright so what we're [B] going to do, so we're just doing E to C sharp, _ okay? _
[B] And there are some guitar parts where he's just holding on to four and he's gone.
_ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Bm] So he's [B] going to go E to [Ab] C sharp and on the C sharp [B] he's going to go _ _ _ four seven _ and then
he's going to [Bb] go four four.
_ _ [G] _
Basically on [Ebm] this string he's going to go seven [Bb] four four four, seven four four four
but [B] he's hitting both of these. _
_ _ _ _ _ Okay, so that's the first time and [E] then he goes the second time [Ab] and this time he's going
the same [Bbm] beginning _ [B]
but _ _ _ then he's going seven [E] five five five, _ okay?
But you're still going to hold this one down. _ _ _
So the first [B] time he's going _ _ _ _ _ _ and then the second time he's going. _ _ _ _
_ Cool? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
It's hard to do them both at the same time but that is _
_ [Db] _ it _ _ _ _ [Bb] for you.
Yeah, _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Db] and then they stop.
[Gb] _ _ [Abm] _
_ [A] _ _ _ So [Gb] they stop on here, _ second fret of the low E string _ _ and then they hit it one more time _
_ and [Db] four on the A [B] string, second on the A string, [Abm] four on the E string. _
_ So [Gb] let's put that together _ and _ [B] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
then [B] he just ends on A, [A] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ okay?
And then we just [Eb] go to a verse which [E] is E to [Ab] C sharp with G sharp in the [E] bass, _ [Db] same
chords _ and [E] he's going, _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ so it's just [E] _
five five five five five five [Ebm] four four and then
what I taught you, _ _ _ _ [E] then five five five five five five [Eb] four four, [A] then [Ebm] what I taught you. _ _
_ _ [Em] _ He does it that second time.
[Bb] So _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [E] _ that's going throughout the [Db] verse. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ All right, then we go [Bb] to our chorus.
You ready?
So it's A, [A] _ _ which is open A, second fret on the D string.
Then we're just going to do some octaves and it's going to be, _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _
and that is first [B] fret,
second fret, fourth fret on the D string.
[Eb] And we're just going to do [Bb] octaves which are three frets up, [Eb] so fourth fret on the B string.
_ Just hold this position and then I'll just be talking about this string.
So first fret, [E] second fret, [Gb] fourth fret.
And you're going to hit four notes on each one.
So [A] A, _ _ _ _
[Eb] one, _ [E] two, _ _ [Gb]
four.
_ _ [E] _ [A] _ Then A again, _ _ _ [Eb] one, _ [E]
two, _ and [Bb] we're going to go to four [Db] _
_ on this string, on the A string. _
_ So [A] that'll sound like, _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [E] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ [E] okay?
So we're halfway through it and then we hit E, _ _ _ which is open [B] E, two, and then we [Eb] go one,
[E] two, _ four, [B] _ just like original.
And then [E] we get open two, _ then we go [Eb] one, two, _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [B] _ then two on the A string.
[Bb] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [A] And then that puts us back into it.
So _ [Gb] _ you remember that riff? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And then here's the cool riff I want to teach [B] you.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ And it is _ fourth fret on the B, _ _ _ along with the open E, little dissonance.
And then you hit it once, and then the second time you [E] slide up to the fifth fret, and then
you go [Eb] back to it on the third time.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
And then it [B] sets up.
_ I'm going to hit the G string and the B string together, but _ fourth fret on the G string
and I'm going to give it a bend. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Bend it up to this pitch.
[Bbm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ And then it goes back into the chorus.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ And that is Foo _ [Em] Fighters, my hero.
