"Andorra"

---&---

I was going over the chords for "Andorra" last night, and I discovered that I had one wrong.  It's A major, not A minor.

I had my bass out because I was practicing the E major scale, so I figured I would have an-other go at trying to figure out the bass part.  When I listened to Ennismore for my Collection Audit project a couple months ago, I thought the bass part sounded pretty easy to figure out, but it proved more difficult than I expected.

I got it this time though… the verses at least.  The "Why do I tell you it's always the same…" sections are still giving me problems, especially because the bass part isn't consistent.  It's different when that section is repeated.

I was going over the chords because I was going to post them in two weeks, but after I recorded this, I discovered that there are fewer chords than I thought.  During those "Why do I tell you…" parts, there are no guitar chords, only tremolos.  Since I have all of the chords in my recording, I'm just going to post them now:

|: E minor / D major / G major / A major :|

I don't think I played it accurately last time I recorded this.  The chords are played on the off beats, with upward strums.  I played it only enough to record this, but it's quite a different way of playing guitar.
