Below is the chord seqence for Feel Like Makin' Love........Bad Company pretty straightforward up until the chorus where it tells me to play C-D does this mean play a C then a D imediatley after ? this dosn't sound correct

Cheers blackdog71

Starting with the intro, its a Dmaj and Cmaj played in the F bar @ 10th postition for the Dmaj, and 8th position for the Cmaj... into a Gmaj played in the D bar @ the 7th fret. It repeats that ending with a normal open position Dmaj.

For the Chorus... its BIG Power chords... the C power chord starts with the first finger barring the top two strings at 3rd fret... a G-C combo, and my ring finger on the octave G (5th fret, D string) and pinkie finger on the octave C (5th fret, G string). That makes a big full sounding C 5th (power chord) with a fat lower end.

For the D chord of course, just slide that up 2 frets.

Phew only been playing for a few weeks thats a lot of information to take in but i've tried the chorus bit and it sounds better already, need to practice those bar chords though, really makes my joints ache think I need to relax a little thanx for the advice Dewy what a great site this is !

Sure thing, and I agree... great site.

On the intro, just think "Fmaj" @ 10th fret for the first D, "Fmaj" @ 8th fret for the Cmaj, and a "Dmaj" @ 7th fret (instead of 2nd fret as normal) for the Gmaj.

As for those power chords (fifth chords) you certainly need to relax. Just enough pressure to sound the notes clearly, light enough to allow for a quick slide up 2 frets.

C5th--D5th--G5th
e-x---e-x----e-x
B-x---B-x----B-8
G-5---G-7---G-7
D-5---D-7---D-5
A-3---A-5---A-5
E-3---E-5---E-x

Chorus is:
C-D/ D
C-D/ D
C-D/ D
G / C

Rinse, lather, repeat.
