So last month I did a few classes teaching kids how to play two of our songs. The classes went pretty well and I thought now that they’re done (for now, anyway) it would be cool to maybe put up some of the lessons on this blog. So this is part 1 of “push me to the floor.” It’s just the chord shapes you’ll need to know in order to play the song.
They’re all fairly simple, the song is in the key of C, and based on the classic C Am F G chord progression, which is used a lot! Its formula is I – VIm – IV – V, so it could also be D Bm G A, or G Em C D, of A F#m D E, etc. Other songs that use it that you might recognize are Pearl Jam “last kiss” (G Em C D), Ben E King “stand by me” and The Police “every breath you take” are both A F#m D E, so as you can see it works really well. It’s also easy to switch those chords around to get progressions like C G Am F (“no woman, no cry” is based around that progression) or Am F C G (“save tonight” by Eagle Eye Cherry).
Anyway! In “push me” there’s a couple of extra chords beyond the C Am F and G. A simple C7, an Fm (which is outside the key of C but makes a nice transition from F to C), C augmented (which is a C chord with a #5 note instead of 5, so in this case G# instead of G), a collection of Csus4 and Csus2 chords and the Asus2. Suspended chords (sus2 and sus4) replace the 3rd note of the chord. The 3rd gives a chord its major (happy) or minor (sad) sound, and a suspended chord replaces the 3rd with either the 2nd note of the scale (sus2) or the 4th note of the scale (sus4). There’s a sense of suspension when you hear them, your ear is waiting for them to resolve to the full chord.
Guitar Tabs And Chords
Then we have the very complicated-sounding G7sus4/D chord. The /D part of the chord name means that is the lowest note of the chord, so in this case instead of a G being the lowest note of the chord, it’s now a D. In general, when you play a G chord, G is your lowest note, the note that gives the chord it’s sound. When you change the root note it becomes inverted, a “slash chord, ” and it just changes the general tonality of the chord. Often the bass player will play the note on the right of the slash (in this case, the D) and the guitar will play the chord to the left of the slash (G7sus4).
The Csus2/B and the Csus2/A are basically part of a descending bass line used in the chorus. I’m not sure if those are the correct chord names, but that’s what I’ve written them down as.
So that’s pretty much all you’ll need to play “push me to the floor.” Tomorrow I shall upload the next section; the tabs of the intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus and bridge and I’ll try my best to explain the various parts.
