the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

ok so i know the big 'two note' chord that tim used on pretty much every song before ETK, but i don't know how to perfectly execute the couple other chords he used. Specifically, the other two chords on 'mars audiac quintet'. (think the first three chords of 'three dee melodie', or the chords of 'nihilist assault group', etc.)


does anyone has a nice tidy list of these chords that they were using during the early-lab years?

thanks.

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

three dee melodie has only two chords E/D

but they are played with different added notes and bass notes to make sound...hm..more rich

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

ah, maybe I'm mistaken

try this for three dee melody (on guitar)

E 779997
E* 779777 (don't remember the name of the chord, but it's often used by lab, for example on "Flower called nowhere)

looks pretty correct

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

how i play it, three dee melodie (the first chord being the famous tim chord):

e ---0 ----0-----0---|
a ---2 ----5-----7---|
d ---2 ----X-----9---|
g ---4 ----7-----9---|
b ---5 ----7-----9---|
e ---0 ----0-----0---|

it sounds pretty good, meh.. i could get a good look at tim's hands during a bootleg or something to get a better idea...if no one else knows?

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

Did u check those I mentioned? Not sure yours are correct

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

hey yeah! your's do sound better.

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

if stereolab ONLY plays 3 or 4 chords and you couldn't figure out what they were you need to find a new instrument. sorry to say. you have no potential.

my dead grandfather could strum ukelele better than that.

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

I mean while he's dead. he has a better ear than you as a dead man. and a lot of soul.

Re: the 3 or 4 stereolab chords!

"the 3 or 4 lab chords!" you can't even count! this thread is offensive.
