Tricky chord in Oasis "Don't Look back in Anger"

Check out Howard's Big List of Guitar Chords. He lists 52 possible variations for the chord. One of them should work! (If not, the chord listed in the tab you're using might be wrong.)
Hope that helps.

Matt, have you tried playing an E7 without the root?

E7 contains the notes E, Ab, B and D....

Abdim is comprised of Ab, B and D...

so if you play E7 like this...

E A D G B E
x 2 0 1 0 x

you have all the notes you need......and if you can stretch your pinkie to the fourth fret on the 1st string, that's also Ab.....
To be honest, I don't think it'd make too much difference if you played the full E7 chord....it's a close substitute....

Vic.

Cheers to both of you.

I'll give that a go Vic

All the best

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com has good tabs. I used to lpay that song, I think i just did a regular Am, although I could be incorrect.

I play xx0104 but I think xx3434 is better.

xx3434 works better for me as it comes after the barred G at the 3rd fret and works up to the Am at the 5th fret straight afterwards - so what you're achieving is 3rd fret, 4th fret, 5th fret up the first string, and then coming back down the neck again with the G and F chords.

Best,

A :-)

I looked up a couple of tabs for this....one of them did it this way -

E A D G B E
4 2 0 1 0 x

(Which is pretty much the same as I suggested doing, but I was adding the extra Ab on the first string.....)....and it was labelled G#/E7 ....E7/G# would've looked better....

anyway....the Ab dim comes between the G and the Am....so I still think it makes more sense to play it with open chords, although the progression Alan suggested does sound pretty nice.....

:D :D :D

Thanks for making the effort, appreciated

Kind regards

Out of interest, anyone got a good strum pattern for this? I have been using Down(pause) D/U/D/U

I base my version on the 42010x, but I am sloppy and lazy so I play 320100, which is very easy because it's just a C shifted up a string. Has always sounded fine to my ears.

what you're actually playing there is an E7/G chord....sounds fine in theory, but there's a nasty discord between the G on the 6th string and the Ab on the 4th......
