Where Were You
- Melody
- Whammy bar
What makes the part famous
The techniques to work on to play it, each in one sentence.
Melody
The guitar plays a tune, the way a voice would: every note has to sing.
Whammy bar
The bridge's tremolo arm drops or raises the pitch, from a gentle vibrato to a full dive.
Where Were You chords
What the studio found on the isolated guitar of the recording: the key and the chords, with fingerings that flow from one to the next.
- Chords
- D · G · A · Bm · F · Eb
Here the guitar mostly plays solos and riffs: these chords are the ones its lines outline, enough to back it or improvise over it.
The progressions that come back
- D
- G
- A
Analyze your own recording
Record yourself playing it, or upload a version you have the right to use: the studio isolates the guitar and finds the chords, tempo, strumming and fingerings, with a fretboard video and a PDF.
