Navaira Group: Members Posts: 481 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: Mar. 28 2006, 06:34 The widely available (also here) transcription says it's Ebm. However, when I grab Ebm (the fretted version) it sounds nothing like the chord played on Crime of passion by Mike O. The video doesn't help either (if you saw it you know what I mean). So... how do I make it sound right? The chords are supposed to be, I think: C#m (4th fret), Ebm (5th fret... except it isn't), B (6th fret) and G#m (4th fret). -------------- http://www.raygrant.com :: My album 'Exorcism' is out on iTunes now Back to top

I agree that the Am shape fretted Ebm doesnt sound right - it follows the melody ok but its not what the acoustic is playing.. x11342 Is Emb and that sounds fair to me. 446464 sounds best to me, cheers for the correction. the G#7sus4 is basically Ebm anyway just with the G note emphasized as a root so either would do. I think i got the Am shaped Emb in there by listening to the melody line too much - that  F# on the B string was ringing in my ears i guess Im glad someone is using that tab! Back to top
