The intro chord progression to the song The Top Half Of The Everglades by the band Races To April. The album is The Syntax in Everything from 2004. A relatively small band that I somehow discovered on MySpace back in the day. I bought their album online from the states and remember receiving it in England along with a lovely hand written note. Still have the CD (lost the note unfortunately) till this day 😁. Go check them out. It's a wonderful record.

Happy to help!

Gracias por tus lecciones maestro.

[@AlbinoTuxedo]

Lovely work as always! Would it be possible for you to do a video exploring a specific alternate tuning? It's EABEBE, i think the only band i've seen using it was Jars of Clay back when they were starting out in the 90's. It's a very nice, resonant and rich sounding tuning with a lot of easy to play chords that sound great!

God i love that TOAN

Hi Steve, hope you are doing well. First off, thank you for introducing me to this band. They're very cool. The singer reminds me of Chris from Propagandhi at his most squeaky. As always when watching one of your tutorials I at first question your chord names (then think about it and conclude you're correct). Today, I'm wavering. I am hearing the progression more as a string of D#m7 chords (D#m7, D#m7/C#(no root), D#m11/G#(no root), D#m7/Bb(no root)). I concede that there's a strong argument that it concludes on a B, but equally that could be D#m7/B(no root) with the B being the b6 of the D# minor tonality. If you have time, I would love to hear your take on it. Do you view them as sus chords to represent the F# C# pedal throughout the progression?

[@nigelgrim]

Yes!

[@lowerstreetpoint2662]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Emilsonlim]

This would be awesome 😎 on cigar Box guitar unexplored still. Instead of blues all the time

[@MathematicPony]

not an a#m#5, it's just the I chord in first inversion

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Yup, wasn't till after I put the video out that I realized that 😅

Tell us when u started to learn this?

[@Ackl3r]

nice

[@danyoz5016]

...by the sound of these chords, I assume Foo FIghters are an emo band? lol. good job

[@GabrielGAS1201]

considering their pedigree in emo adjecent genres they might as well be

[@TheMattmatic]

The early Foo Fighters stuff like "Everlong" is very close to emo I'd say, but what do I know?

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Haha! Off the top of my head Juneau by Funeral for a friend, cute without the e by Taking Back Sunday are some other examples

[@GabrielGAS1201]

@@TheMattmatictcAtS- TINLtL era foo fighters is not much removed from bands like hey mercedes, Hot Rod Circuit or even braid or the more alternative rock leaning tracks from cave in

[@АрсенийЧемырысТВ]

Foo fighters at its inception were pretty much 50% nirvana 50% Sunny day real estate who were like the most important band in second wave emo probably so yeah theyre as emo as theyre grunge

[@dramaticdrummer0397]

Don’t know how to feel about minor #5 chords

[@weedandvideogames2985]

Great Video as always Steve, one small request though, when showing the chord diagrams, would it be possible to colour code which finger you use for the individual shapes? I.e. red for index, blue for middle, green for ring and yellow for the pinky

[@cdwizzerd]

any advice for people like myself who want to learn these songs, but only have 3 working fingers? i smashed my hand badly as a child, & my pinkie is basically only for show…..
