Ok, let's go - what song do these chords remind you of?

[@LeonTodd]

"Guardian Angel" by John Mcglaughlin uses a bunch of these voices, as does the aforementioned Whitesnake and Queensryche songs!

[@wurger13]

Still of the night?

[@squashedmike]

Waiting for 22

[@sturmtheguitarist]

Whitesnake - Looking For Love?

[@gordontubbs]

Is this chord that I'm feeling? Is this the chord that I've been searching for? Is this chord or am I dreaming? This must be chord Cause it's really got a hold on me A hold on me

[@wasichu66]

Priceless lololol

[@sebrura]

Sound of my teens. Golden era. 80-90s.

[@marcelb7259]

That is just brilliant ! Thank you so much for this incredible, yet accessible to beginner, tutorial. Cheers from Canada.

[@LeonTodd]

My pleasure!

[@ldcgfx8710]

thank you for sharing, beautiful chords!

[@lore88824]

Ah, "...I Remember now..."

[@michaelgallegos8811]

Those are some nice chords nice and chimed. Good video Todd!🤔🤘😈

[@LeonTodd]

Appreciate it!

[@The_Macaroon]

That's some sweater your wearing lol. Good lesson mate. Cheers

[@LeonTodd]

You know it!

[@rac3rx76]

@@LeonTodd I can't decide if it's Cosby, or, Darryl Sommers Didn't drown out the Queensryche though

[@wooliegeek]

Nice sounds, nice chords, nice visitor in the background. 🤓

[@jessenicholson1777]

You had me at Queensryche.

[@belladosemusic3178]

Pivot notes / chords are a thing of beauty when writing !!!

[@MikaTarkela]

Those chords are also in the intro of Sonata Arctica's song "My Land" .

[@brianh395]

Even though I'm no longer playing guitar (due to some nerve damage in my left arm), I still love watching your videos!!!

[@jamesflack8624]

Lovely tones, and we all know tone is in the sweater, not the fingers like we used to think in the way back... That sweater Rocks! Cheers 🍻

[@LeonTodd]

hahaha yeah it's a good'un

[@andyandy2731]

Leon! Queensryche Queensryche and... Queensryche! As there is nothing better ;-) than Operation Mindcrime, maybe you could make a movie how to achieve that(!) sound? The lead sound from Anarchy X, rhythm from the riff of the title song, and clean from Suite Sister Mary. Thanks! A lot!

[@spetersonmusic]

Working on Queensryche and Whitesnake right now - no lie. What's funny is that I am working on these exact chords right now as you post this. Outstanding!!! If you want a suggestion, do a breakdown on the verse chords on "Jet City Woman" which is just great stuff along with these same concepts.

[@spyder8093]

Always learn great new techniques here. Great job! 👍

[@LeonTodd]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@anthonylardo6969]

Oh fuck yeah, Queensryche.

[@ronaldsiegel2192]

Can’t wait to try that

[@2015IeepWranglerJK]

I love those chords, I have used them for a small original intro to Rockin’ is My Business by the Four Horseman. Very cool!

[@wasichu66]

Brilliant. Love these chords, quite instantly recognizable of course across a few bands, but yes the classic QR chords, tone, songs, some of the best metal ever made, damn I miss De Garmo...

[@LeonTodd]

Same here, what a great writer

[@TheVanhelen]

Hi, Leon. I guess it's cold in Australia. Take good care of your health.

[@LeonTodd]

Perfect sweater weather here

[@Dominatoruke]

Leon, have you put together a similar clean tone years back for the AX8? Killer sound the chords are indeed so recognizable.

[@seanwaldon5466]

hey Leon, love the channel. I was wondering if you could or have previously done a review on the boss ME 80

[@LeonTodd]

Not the 80 but I did with my old BOSS ME-50. been meaning to drag it back out.

[@seventhsealhere]

+1 for "C up 2" 👍

Good cameo at 3:07.

[@carlroberge7535]

They’re also all over Don Dokken’s album Up from the Ashes 🤘

[@LeonTodd]

What a great album!

[@JeffHendricks]

I am doing fantastic today, thanks for asking! Oh man, Queensryche... haven't heard that in a while.

[@LeonTodd]

Wonderful!

[@cryptojihadi265]

Sir, you are absolutely correct....they ARE Queensryche chords

[@jasonwymark8185]

I always wanted to know them chords... Thanks mate.

[@LeonTodd]

Happy to help!

[@RyanMaziarz]

All 3 of those chords are in a bunch of Dream Theater songs too - guessing JP got them from the same original 80s sources you did!

[@LeonTodd]

Yep, early DT had so many Queensryche elements

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Great chords. I just call them cool chords. 🤣 Man, those effects were just stellar. Were they from your fm3? If so, very cool. Be safe sir.

[@LeonTodd]

All from the Axe-Fx!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

@@LeonTodd very cool

[@d-mack7053]

@LeonTodd I see the green 7 sting on the chair in the background. Have you been trying any "Bottomless Drop" like I mentioned for a future episode? And is that acoustic guitar hanging on the wall to you left a 12 string? I see alot of white on the bridge and if so could we get an acoustic episode with it to change things up? "D"

[@LeonTodd]

yeah that's a guild 12 string. Wild machine!

[@nicholastotoro7721]

The chords at the beginning scream “Looking for Love.” Oh… and “Take Hold if the Flame,” but in a different key… 🤣

[@LeonTodd]

"TAKE> HOLD!"

[@kylekarich]

10000000000% Queensryche. (Also early Sonata Arctica). I dramatically overuse these lol.

[@LeonTodd]

Sonata! Been a while since I jammed some of their stuff

[@kylekarich]

@@LeonTodd Jani joined Insomnium starting with their last album if you wanna hear some new tasty leads!
