Blinding Lights | TAB
Having studied the chords in the chords and lyrics lesson, all that is left to do is work out how to play that synth hook on the guitar, here it is in TAB, feel free to slide into some of these notes.
For those of you who want to learn how to write hits or even just hooks, take note of the intervals that have been used above. The first and last of each phrase matters the most.
- Fm – R – b7 – 9 – 5
- Cm – 4 – m3 – 5 – R
- Eb – 5 – 3 – 2 – R
- Bb – 5
- All these notes are from the Eb Major Pentatonic
If you can see the melody as intervals in relation to the chords like this, as well as how the melody uses the Eb Major Pentatonic, you can move it anywhere on the neck – try it!
