More drama ensues. The band goes home for the holidays and writes the goosebump-induc {ng rocker “Caught in the Rain,” Which turns out tobe the hit song that snags them a deal with Epic, THE BYADS, Itsmore sophisticated to imply harmony thanitistoshove pow. erchordsinsomeone’s ear Heres the concept Your average barre chord is a chunky thing full of unneces- sary notes like 5ths and octaves. In the transcription’s Rhy. Fig 1, played in drop D tuning, guitarists Nathaniel Cox and Robert Davis use dyads to imply the progression of A-F#m?-D/F#, To finger the A dyad (A-C#) depress the 6th string’ 7th-fret A with yourpinky fingerandtheSth string’ 4th- fret C# with your index finger. That way, you can eff ciently nallthe partialF#m7chord | (FEE) by just reversing the fn ‘ering —the index finger shifts to | the F¥ at the 6th string’ 4th fret while the pinky nails the E at the Sth string’s 7th fret. Then, keep | your index finger in place as you depress the Sth string Sth-fret D with your middle finger, implying ‘a DIF? chord | THE ACOUSTIC STRUMMING Inthe verses, Cox and Davis shift from clanky,closed-voiced dyads to warm, open chords. These denser harmonies are cleverly voiced in such a way that open strings rub against fretted ones; | the resulting friction invigorates the typical A9 chord (A-C#-E- | G-B) and opens up the passage. Use the sensible fingering shown in Fig. 1. Keep that shape anchored during the entire AS measure, adding and removing | the 3rd string’s 7dh-fret D with your ring finger as shown in the transcription, The next measure’ chords are formed from a th string rooted ‘octave shape. (Fig 2]. Octaves are lit, tinny trinkets that wonder fully fatten single-note lines; they've been used by everybody from jazzer Wes Montgomery to the Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter. Cox and Davis expand their ‘octaves in twoways: Beneath each pair (A, FE and E), they add adia- tonic Srd (Ff, D, and Ct, respec- tively), And on top ofthat, the gui tarists incorporate the ringing ‘open Ist and 3rd strings, forming acolorfulstrumming eres that, in conjunction with an F¥ from the bass, falls underthebasicumbrel Ja ofan Fém? chord, ‘WE SINGLE-NOTE RIFFING Single-note Riff is derived from the A Misolydian mode (A-B-CE D-E-FE-G),diagrammed in Fig.3 1s a deceptively simple melody line—the string-yanking may prove difficult.
