Damodarastaka 3/4 - Guitar

Posted On: Fri, 2007-10-05 05:08 by sitapatiShare

The main thing with guitar really is getting the time signature - 3/4 feels different from 4/4, which is the time signature for a lot of popular music.

The simple chord structure is just alternating between:

Dminor Cmajor

For the complex version the chord structure is the following (potential chord substitutions are in brackets - in other words, you can play the bracketed chord in place of the plain vanilla chord):

Dminor (Dm7) Cmajor (Csus9) Gmajor
Dmin Cmaj Gmaj
Dmin Cmaj Amin D#maj (D#sus9)
Dmin Cmaj
Dmin Cmaj Amin D#maj

In the key of E, when we change up:

Emin (Em7) Dmaj (Dsus9) Amaj
Emin Dmaj Amaj
Emin Dmaj Bmin Fmaj
Emin Dmaj
Emin Dmaj Bmin Fmaj
