The Hit (Chorus)
Added 2019-09-12 18:30:49 +0000 UTCIt's time to revisit TWRP's #1 chart topping hit, The Hit!
We already covered the verse in a previous week, so if you learn them both you can now perform a large portion of this song. Pretty neat, eh?
Pro Tips;
- The very first chord has a muted note in the middle, on the D string. You can accomplish this by angling your 1st finger so that as well as fretting the 5th fret A string, the underside lightly touches the D string.
- Usually when playing rock stuff like this, if it's not too fast then I'll play every note/chord as a downstroke. This makes things sound more consistent then if you alternate between down and upstrokes. Also, it sounds more powerful this way.
- I highly recommend holding a power stance and playing this song in front of your mirror, so that you'll feel extra cool.
Theory:
For all you note-nerds, the chords here are:
Dm7 - Am7 - Bb - Dm - C
If you don't know theory, this may look like a scrambled message sent to earth from a highly advanced and sophisticated note-loving civilization. But don't worry! It's not going to affect you playing the riff. But do note that the very first chord is one that I use way too often, it's just that good. If you listen carefully you might hear it in Japanquest, Groove Crusaders, and 4fathers (to name just a few).
Tabs are available for download as a Guitar Pro file or a PDF. Have fun!!!

Your guitar tones are so perfect on the new album, you outdid yourself again! Thank you for doing these videos, theyβve really inspired me to pick the guitar up again. Head up high Lord Phobos! βοΈπΊ
