Hey guys. I am asking for a huge favor. My dad recorded some stuff in the 80's and he's always wanted to redo the vocals and modernize the song in general. I'm thinking for Christmas I would give him a track to sing vocals to. I just can't get the chords for the life of me though. If one of you guys could do me a huge solid and get me the chords, i'd love you forever.

>TL;DR please get me the chords to this song for my dad's Christmas present.
>pic related is my dad in the 80's
>key of 9 B/G (that's what a website said)
>>61173200
your dad's old band is better than my dad's old band :(
>>61173200
I like instrumental, desu.
Nice present to your pop, anon. You better make a cd with an cool ass cover and everything.
>>61173255
Ha, what genre was his?
>>61173269
the most generic sounding New Wave you can possibly think of ha
>>61173262
Was planning on doing so. Crystal Rose was the title track of the album that also had a corresponding movie script.
My dad was a dreamer..
This is a nice present, anon. Too bad my dad's dead.
>>61173314
Sorry to hear anon. How'd he go?
>>61173338
Car accident. The other driver was drunk.
>>61173289
Well if you have it, I'd listen
>>61173378
One of my best friends went like that. I gave up the sauce after that
>>61173388
haha shit i don't usually show this to people, but strangers on the internet whatever
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm8R8N5GYvU
he's the singer, don't really know the dude at all tho
>>61173200
FLAC where?
>>61173449
watched it anon. weird/cool family artifact. what was the extent of his band's success? also try to get to know him while you have the chance!!
>>61173534
they had one album and according to my ma had potential to be hugely successful. dad's a heroin addict though so the label booted him. ah i don't really have a chance to know him because he lives in the u.k and i'm in australia. i've met him twice and the second time i flew over he stayed with me and my grandparents for 2 nights then fucked off overseas for the rest of my trip.
sorry to unload, this isn't a feels thread.

well since we're sharing. here's one of my dad's videos. went on VH1. Feel free to let those feels out, an interesting story is an interesting story.
>>61173567
that's too bad anon. feeling for you right now. hope you find some peace with everything bro.
sorry to op as well. didn't mean to take over your thread.
>>61173200
>>61173449
>>61173592
No one in my family ever amounted to anything close to fame. I swear to god I'm going to be the first one I swear it on my life.
>>61173470
Are you requesting a FLAC of the file??
>>61173622
I was joking, but I wouldn't mind a download
>>61173592
haha the dancing at 1:40. this is pretty great man, feel good stuff, with a little bit of cheese.
>>61173604
thanks for that man, desu i've needed some therapy for it heh.
>>61173619
dream big kiddo, you can do it!
>>61173296
i hope he never stopped dreaming. what's he up to now? still creating anything?
>>61173633
I made it available for download on soundcloud
>>61173200
Ask /guitar general/, they might know.
>>61173665
For the most part, no. Really leaves it to me. I'm just 18, working on getting my life together with college and stuff. But I let him drum in my band in my earlier high school days. still in high school. Thought this would help him.
>>61173604
No worries man, you're helping keep it alive while I wait for a kind soul to make my night.
I think I can do it, but I have to move somewhere else so I can write next to my guitar and keyboard. I'll check back in a minute
>>61173726
MVP!
>>61173712
do you just need basic chords or the actually arpeggios/lead notes? I'm trying my hand at the chords right now, but for the specific stuff nots and playing, I'm afraid I can't help much.
>>61173726
ATTA BOY.
>>61173745
Just need the basic chords. i can do basically everything else later by ear. But I need to send a rough demo of it to my drummer friend so he can learn it to record when he gets into town this week.
>>61173619
don't give up; keep the dream alive. we're gonna make it one day.
OP I've really enjoyed this thread, do you think you could make a thread once you give it to him? If he ends up redoing the vocals maybe upload? I dunno I just feel invested in this now.
>>61173872
Most definitely. You might even hear me singing backup. He's always wanted to do that with me as well. I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
>>61173837
verse sounds like:
Gmaj / Emin / Cmaj / Fmaj
I don't have a great ear. How does that sound to you guys?
>>61173945
>He's always wanted to do that with me as well
oh god. best of luck to ya my man.
>>61173977
Thank you for trying, but I just tried to play along with it, and it didn't sound quite right. I was getting dmaj/ G6/9/ dmaj/ bmin
But, then again if i knew what i was doing, I wouldn't be coming here!
>>61173979
thanks! He has always been one of my idols in this regard. Our voies sound a lot alike in some ways, I love singing with him
This thread is so legit, Best of luck with your project, OP, and love to all the brothers who have shared/felt in here.Sincerely. And merry Christmas
>>61174087
Merry Christmas to you, anon. Thanks for the luck.
>>61173726
ok I'm back, starting work now
this song has an irregular progression and the guitar is sortof hard to hear, but I'm usually pretty good at this
>>61174034
Verse maybe
Dmaj / G6/9 / Cmaj / G6/9
anybody?
>>61174171
Any/all help is quite appreciated. Give it your best shot, and that'll be more than enough i'm sure.
>>61174220
Closer, I don't see where the C Maj fits in though
>>61174220
Don't give up though, we're getting closer. the chords are basically just verse chrous and once we get those, I should be good for the rest!
>>61174385
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ChW6CJZ1Wd
this is what I have so far. i think my verse part sounds close, but not quite right. chorus sounds right to me. i'm just using power chords. but i can't figure out what chords he's playing under the 'crystal rose' lyrics in the second half of the chorus. anyone else still here trying??
Vocaroo verse chords:
Dmaj / G6/9 / Cmaj / G6/9
Vocaroo chorus chords (all power chords)
C/DDDC/DDDC/DDEDC
C/DDDC/DDDC/DDEDC
C/DDDC/DDDC/DDEDC
C/DDDC/DDDC/DDEDC
BB/C
This is the best I have for tonight anon. Good luck everyone!!
>>61174661
>>61174708
My boy. Thanks for giving this effort. The chorus is spot on, and the verse is really close. The guitar isn't super prevalent in the verse, so it's rough. Thanks man, goodnight
>>61174822
Hey bro, I think I got the verse progression, try this:
D C6 Gmaj7 Dm7
D C6 Gmaj7 Dm7/9
>>61174822
...don't tell me you went to bed
>>61173449
The beginning reminds me of The Jezebel Spirit by Brian Eno & David Byrne
>>61175035
Nah I'm up, I was saying good night to that guy
>>61174918
That's pretty spot on for the verse. I like the way that sounds, it works Well!
>>61173567
Anon, this is a great, really thoughtful present. Your dad is lucky to have you as a kid
>>61175438
This guy isn't me, but thanks anyways. That guy's got it rough though
>>61174918
not him but does Dm7/9 mean a Dm7 with the bass note as a 9? i dont fucking know how to do fractions in my chords
>>61175539
Having some trouble with that too
>>61175539
it's an added 9th
