creep positioning?
Hey there,
I love Damien's rendition of Creep - Radiohead cover from Morning Becomes Eclectic... Stripped down on guitar sounds awesome. I find that I can jam along with this using the standard barre cords (tuned down 1/2 step) G - 3 5 5 4 3 3 B - 7 9 9 8 7 7 C - 8 10 10 9 8 8 Cm - 3 3 5 5 4 3 -but I can't seem to get the hammer-ons to sound any good. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers, Mike

I think maybe it's just knuckle-breaking hard - but maybe I'm missing something - so if someone knows a secret - please share
I have always omitted this from my radiohead cover rep because it physically hurts me to play it :-P

Creep Positioning
I heard him do Creep and you are right, it is AWESOME........
I do it in the Chord Shape of (but I use a capo on 4th fret to match my voice) C E F Fm you can hammer on with almost all of your fingers in this form you can use chords like Cmaj7, E7 , E9, Fsus, ect.......as passing chords, I think I might actually sneak an Am in sometimes, remember if you are confident it will be hard to hear a mistake if you do make one....... |

I have found that the difference between a good guitarist and a great guitarist
is that, you must use the pinky!..........lol.................. For a better visual; Chords C,E,F,Fm E l -0- l -0- l -1- l -1- l B l -1- l -0- l -1- l -1- l G l -0- l -1- l -2- l -1- l D l -2- l -2- l -3- l -3- l A l -3- l -2- l -3- l -3- l E l -X- l -0- l -1- l -1- l ----C----E----F---Fm Fret l---0--1--2--3 E l X ll X l - l X l B l X ll X l - l X l G l X ll - l X l - l D l X ll - l X l X l A l X ll - l X l X l E l X ll X l - l X l If you play the song in the above chords you can use any of the notes marked as an X for your hammer(s) on/off. You can play around all you like hit all the stings open, and never have to worry about an off note............ I hope this makes sense if not, ....I already know I'm full of it.... (whatever "it" is)...lol!!!!! |

Thanks guys, that's helped alot.
I was playing around with the maj7 passing chords and found that after the hammer-on it's a double whammy thing, and goes something like: E -3-3-3-3--- 3 3 B -3-3-3-3--- 3 3 G -4-4-4-3h4- 5 4 D -5-5-5-5--- 5 5 A -5-5-5-5--- 5 5 E -3-3-3-3--- 3 3 - -d d -u d--- u u d d... so I hammer on with my middle finger and then do a Gsus on the next up stroke... and guess what!!??? - I use my pinky for that part....lol....!!
