Band: Staind Song: Devil Album: Chapter V Ok, I just bought the album and I really like this song. I was sitting with my acoustic guitar. I had it tuned down a half-step because I know Aaron does that. I know Mike has a wierd tuning so this probably won't be correct. This is the chords in the song, though. It actually sounds like there are only two chords. Main Guitar Riff: Remember that this just in half-step down. Because I'm not an expert at this, please be kind. I think this will help people get on the right track, though. This riff is in Abm(played as Am with the half-step down) |----0----------0----------------| |-1----1-----0----0--------------| |--------2----------2------------| |--------------------------------| |-0----------0-------------------| |--------------------------------| It sometimes sounds like this. |----0----------0----------------| |-1----1-----0----0--------------| |-2------2---2------2------------| |-2----------2-------------------| |-0----------0-------------------| |--------------------------------| The main riff is played for the intro and verse. Chorus: Ok, the chorus sounds like it is played with Eb and Abm(played as F and Am with the half-step). I'm not sure if Aaron plays anything for this song(it sounds like one that he would, though), but I think it this would sound good if two acoustic guitars or one acoustic and one electric were playing together. Possibly one guitar playing this. I swear I'm not the devil |-0---------------------------0----| |-1---------------------------1----| |-2---------------------------2----| |-3---------------------------2----| |-3---------------------------0----| |----------------------------------| Now I know Mike has the wierd tuning, so this is probably wrong, but here is an idea for that cool riff during the chorus. Its a great way of using octaves. |------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------| |-10---12-/-14--12---10---12-/-14--12--10--9-------| |-x-----x----x----x---x-----x----x----x---x----x-------| |-8----10-/-12--10---8----10-/-12--10--8---7-------| |------------------------------------------------------| That's about it. Please keep in mind the tuning factor. All of the chords are right, though. Thanks for looking!
