You Can Play These Songs with Chords is an early (1996–97) demo from the rock band Death Cab for Cutie, which at the time consisted entirely of founder Ben Gibbard. This demo was originally released on cassette by Elsinor Records.
There are few keys in which one may play the progression with open chords on the guitar, so it is often portrayed with barre chords ("Lay Lady Lay"). The use of the flattened seventh may lend this progression a bluesy feel or sound, and the whole tone descent may be reminiscent of the ninth and tenth chords of the twelve bar blues (V–IV).
A closely related key can be defined as one that has many common chords. A relative major or minor key has all of its chords in common; a dominant or subdominant key has four in common. Less closely related keys have two or fewer chords in common. For example, C major and A minor have 7 common chords while C major and F ♯ major have 0 common ...
Inverted major and minor chords can be played on two frets in M3 tuning. [76] [77] In standard tuning, the shape of inversions depends on the involvement of the irregular major third, and can involve four frets. [78] It is a challenge to adapt conventional guitar chords to new standard tuning, which is based on all-fifths tuning. [j]
Most commonly, power chords (e.g., C–G–C) are expressed using a "5" (e.g., C 5). Power chords are also referred to as fifth chords, indeterminate chords, or neutral chords [citation needed] (not to be confused with the quarter tone neutral chord, a stacking of two neutral thirds, e.g. C–E –G) since they are inherently neither major nor ...
A guitarist performing a C chord with G bass. In Western music theory, a chord is a group [a] of notes played together for their harmonic consonance or dissonance.The most basic type of chord is a triad, so called because it consists of three distinct notes: the root note along with intervals of a third and a fifth above the root note.

Though chords can easily and more fully be played from this tuning, it sometimes results in awkward inversions, a relatively minor problem if the five-string is played in an ensemble with a bass guitar. E-A-c ♯-f ♯-b Simulates the top four strings, followed by the second-from-bottom string on top, raised a whole step (the F ♯ representing ...
