thinman Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Have finally graduated onto playing "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" but the band's a bit stuck on the chorus. Over the "Hit me with your rhythm stick..." line on the bass it's F, G and then....... I think it may be an A but our guitarist thinks it's Ab. Does anyone know what the guitar chords are too? Can't find anything on the net and find it hard to ork out from the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then F, G, Ab, A, Bb, A, Ab, G, Bb, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at some video one of the Blockheads is playing something much further down the kneck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 As has already been said it's A. But I can't blame anyone for thinking it's Ab as it just sounds more natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 BC member Zoe did a nice job too. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=55274"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=55274[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinman Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm glad I'm not the only that finds it knackering. It's the riff around F down at the first that does me in. Hitting the G# is a swine! But does anyone know the guitar chords???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Tub Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 [quote name='Merton' post='874792' date='Jun 22 2010, 08:15 PM']Definitely A. The first two times. Then F, G, Ab, A, Bb, A, Ab, G, Bb, C [/quote] Wot he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
