Chords for Trooper's General Hand Grenade - Guitar Lesson

_ _ _ _ _ General Hand Grenade by Trooper.
Here's a quick run through.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] My guitar might be out of standard A440 tuning, so I'll give you [A] a 5th string open A for you
to tune to me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] Okay, so let's get started with that beginning [G] riff.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [B]
Now that's starting on the 7th fret.
And some people call these kiss chords because the
band Kiss tend to use these chords a lot.
_ You're starting on the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings.
You're barring them here on the 7th.
And then you're putting your 2nd finger here on the
8th fret and your 3rd finger here on the 9th [G] fret.
And you're just playing those three
_ strings.
[Bm] I kind of use my thumb here and the meat of some of my fingers to block.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[B] Of course
you just peel those two fingers off.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ Maybe I'll swing the camera over so you can reach it here and show you my other [G] hand. _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [B] Okay, so you're sort of lifting your fingers off the strings a bit to get that.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [B] And the second time through of course you slide your fingers down like that.
And you
pick up that same chord pattern here on the 2nd fret. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] And of course it changes up a bit again.
And then we _ [D] _ [F#] get_
And that is_
[B] Then you fret an A chord.
Now there's two ways to do [G] this. _ _
[B] _ [E] Which is just 5th [F#] and then 6th fret here on the 3rd, 7th [A] fret here on the 4th.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [B] The other way of course is to just take this [G] chord [Bm] and move it up 2 frets.
[A] _ And then end [D] up [B] with_
There's actually a D here on [D] the 7th fret. _ _ _ _ _
_ They both sound really [G] similar and you can play them both the same.
And whatever is more comfortable for you, they both work.
[D] _ _ [B] I'm not sure I got that lick exactly right but that's I think what he plays. _
Which is here on the 7th fret, 5th string.
And you hammer on to the 9th fret.
[D] _ [Bm] And you kind of play the 4th and the 3rd [E] barred here.
[D] _
[Bm] And then you play the 4th string on the 9th fret and pull it off. _
Actually I guess I'm playing those two strings at the same time.
_ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] And there's also a different pattern that he uses there.
He repeats that first lick twice.
[G] _ _ _
[A] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] Now if you have two guitar players, [Bm] I think the second one kind of just hits these two D notes.
Which is here, 10th fret of the 1st string.
And then [B] the 7th fret of the [Bm] 3rd string.
_ _ And I kind of use the meat of this finger to stop that 2nd string from [F#] ringing out.
[Bm] And you just sort of_
And _ _ _ that kind of [G] goes on with the_ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Okay, now the other part of the song is pretty easy because it's just single notes.
So I'll run through this pretty quick.
There's kind of a repeating pattern that happens here.
[G] _ _ [Bm] _
_ We're doing the same pattern, just sort of moving it around.
[G] So it's starting here on the 5th string.
Sorry, 6th string, 3rd fret.
_ [B] 8th fret down, 1 string up.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Bm] _ Then starting there. _ _
[A] _ _ [Bm] Same pattern.
[A] _ And [G] back to the first one.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ This one's a little bit different.
We're starting on that note, and we _ [A] go_
[G] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ 5th fret on the 5th string, 5th fret on the [A] 6th string.
Then just [G#] go [Bm] 2nd fret down, 1 fret down.
[G] And then start it again.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ And this time we do [Bm] the pattern here on the 6th string, [A] 5th fret.
_ _ [E] _ [Bm] And end here.
You can end on the chord there if you want.
_ So once again, that [G] whole thing [Bm] is_
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
