Lrigyttiw Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Guitar players: I was strumming around a writer's block the other night, and I think I found Alex's Far Cry chord: 244300 it's an F sharp something. It's also a well used Nancy Wilson chord, in different keys though (Mistral Wind). What do you think? Edited July 16, 2008 by Lrigyttiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHobbs Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 That chord also happens to be the Hemispheres chord, the main chord on the intro to Digital Man and the first chord on the electric break of The Trees. Very nice chord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thanks for the compliment! I'm not sure what part you were describing but listen to the album version @ 3:09. To me ears, he clearly plays the entire chord with the upper notes. That is the way I play the song and it sounds correct to me. Check it out and let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
