ARTIST: The Goo Goo Dolls TITLE: Become ALBUM: Let Love In (2006) =================================================== INFORMATION =================================================== Beautiful song. Some simple power chords with synthesizers and guitar riffs that I couldn't pick up. Knock yourself out try and figure them if you're feeling adventurous. If you want to play acoustic version, the chord progression is -> -> -> in tuning. DISTORTION TUNING: Standard or drop D CLEAN/ACOUSTIC Gt.: Eb (every string down 1 half step) EFFECTS: Light distortion, with medium sustain This is what I have on my Metal Zone: Level: 9 o'clock Low: Max High: 10 Mid freq: Max Middle: 12 Dist: 11 =================================================== BEGIN: Synthesizers (play chords ->->->) and riffs for 4 measures =================================================== so much more about you that you never let them see You turn away But not to me I know how they tried to take you Held you up and meant to break you down But you can't be For so long I tried to reach you I know I'm almost there I'm close enough for you to see =================================================== Clean/Acoustic guitar can keep playing this progression. Basically: = , = , = , = . This is where distorted power chords come in. =================================================== -> -> You've been hiding in the shadows Have you forgotten how we used to dream Let me remind you The light doesn't blind you at all It just helps you see Can you see Yeah you have become Yeah you have become beautiful And I can't be the stranger That's been sleeping in your bed just Turn around and come to me I feel all the pain inside And everything you been denied you feel It's all you feel -> -> You've been hiding in the shadows Have you forgotten how we used to dream Let me remind you The light doesn't blind you at all It just helps you see Can you see Yeah you have become Yeah you have become beautiful Yeah you have become Yeah you have become beautiful Brush back your hair and look around you Feeling like the truth has found you here You're here with me Let love become the mirror E# With no fear where you're from You have become Yeah you have become beautiful =================================================== MISCELLANEOUS =================================================== Most of the percussion is played in this pattern: x x x x x x x x s s x = 8th note cymbal s = snare b = bass drum You can accompany with an acoustic guitar and a clean guitar. Clean gt. plays chords down, down, down, down strumming pattern (8th notes). The real song uses a clean guitar. I think it sounds better with acoustic. =================================================== CHORD DIAGRAMS =================================================== e ---------------------------------- B ---------------------------------- G --4---------------------------3--- D --4------4------6------2------3--- A --2------4------6------2------1--- E ---------2------4------0---------- As always, power chords are easier in drop D tuning. e ---------------------------------- B ---------------------------------- G ---------------------------------- D --9------4------6------2------8--- A --9------4------6------2------8--- D --9------4------6------2------8--- =================================================== CONTACT =================================================== Questions?
