Bigger question, what chord comes after F#m?
This site lists it as A C#7 F#m E D7 Ao
Bill and jdarks play it as A C#7 F#m A D7 Ao
The dead song book and I play it as A C#7 F#m F#m/E D7 Ao
The E just does not get me there. The F#m with an E bass note(D string) is the same as the A if you do not hit the E string. I do not play the C# note, just barre the 4 high strings. How do other people hear it?
I play it just straight F#m D7 Ao (essentially the same as Bill and jadarks - who knows how many strings I hit?), but if you absolutely must be busy and have another chord in there to notate, the A works best... if you want to think of it that way (I still consider it a partial Fm). I find in a full band situation, the little things like that are more dependant on what everyone else is playing anyway...
But no.. got no use for the E at all...
This was the $64k question in another thread a while back. I, until very recently, had been playing the E. I guess the descending line that dominates the progression F#-E-D-Eb was influencing me. After watching a couple of vids it's clear jg fingers an A7 and a few on this board take that view. Try as I might after listening to a whole bunch of versions I couldn't really hear that G note. And playing it I feel the straight A chord sounds smoother anyway but the above referenced line (F#-E-D-Eb) is really the key for the jerry part. I believe someone (mttourpro?) thinks its an E the first time through and A(7?) the second or vice versa. The Rockpalast vid seems to show the same position both times through, fwiw.
It kinda seems to me like he's only playing the D and B strings for that pasage so it'd be something like this
----F#m------A--------D7-------Ao
E|--------------------------------------
B|--2-----2--2-----2--1-----1--1-----1--
G|-------(2)------(2)------(2)------(2)---------
D|-----4--------2--------0--------1-----
A|--------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------
the (2) is the A that is a constant throughout the way I'm playing it for a fuller sound.
