what are these chords?

[Count_fuzzball]

Does anyone know what the chords for the opening guitar part of this song is, and also what the chord progression that goes from 1:21-1:41. I think (note the word think) that the last two chords from 1:21-1:41 is Dm followed by C. But I for the life of me cannot nail down the other two chords!

Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong? Is my musical ear not developed enough?

Sorry, but what part are you talking about? The opening 'choir' part or the church organ chords?

One of the best things you can do is buy the music, or find the Tab online.

Since it's a pop/rock type ensemble, they may have a published Guitar-Tab edition for it.

If not, and you're interested in this style, there's plenty of similar bands and guitar parts that if you can learn them, will help you to learn this.


Another handy tool is "Transcribe!" by Seventh String software which lets you slow down a song without changing the pitch. It will even "listen" to the notes that are happening and tell you what the chord is (though its accuracy in this regard depends on how many parts are going on in the recording, etc.)

Slowing things down, and trying to figure them out - say - at half speed - will help you develop your ear - it let's you "cheat" a little on the things that are just way too fast. And with Transcribe, you can slow it down any percentage, you can change the pitch (some songs are slightly out of standard tuning) and you can do things like EQ out the Bass part, or the vocals, etc. (again, the success of this feature depends on what's going on in the song and how it was produced, etc.)

Transcribe is free to download and try. I think you get 30 days and then you have the option to buy it - it's only like 20 bucks I think.

I've tried several websites, but this is a song from a video game (yes, yes I know, video game music. ) and I can't find any tabs for it.

Also, I'm trying to figure out the guitar/church organ parts. and to be fair, the guitar is distorted, so I find it difficult nailing down the notes.

"One of the best things you can do is buy the music, or find the Tab online."

the best thing you can do is learn to hear what's going on and transcribe it your self.

edit: that isn't to criticize you for asking, but I think that's kinda bogus advice.
