Chords for "Lay It On The Line" Guitar Lesson by Triumph's Rik Emmett

_ Hi, I'm Rick Emmett from Triumph, and I'm here in the CBC studios with my double neck guitar
To give you some guitar lessons on some Triumph stuff, so we should probably start with laying on the line
[Em] It was on an album in
1979 I think and
I did use [A] my double neck for it it starts with a 12 string part at the bottom
That had two voicings the first one was up here at the 10th fret
And it was an a minor [Am] that kind of
Had an open B string so it's kind of an a minor 9 and then
[B] One note [Am] changes the G changes to an F sharp inside and that turns it into a sort of a d13
See there's your a minor 9-ish d13
_ [D] And the other [Am] voicing was down here at the fifth fret same chords just slightly different sound _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And then I want to put played a little lead
fill over top of it
It's heading towards a progression like there was [Bm] same old story all over [Am] again
Turn [Bm] a lever into just another friend, and then this progression comes that [Am] shows up later in the song to it's like a minor
I [C] love you C over G.
[D] Oh, wow, and this is like a d7 over F sharp a d over F sharp
D [F] and then F
[G] G _
[Am] _ minor
So that was the intro and then the drum fill but but a boop
and we're in to the top of the tune and I would probably switch next live and
Switch my patch so that it would sound [A] like this a power chord
_ [F] _ power chord
[A] And I'm not playing any thirds in these that's what makes them power chords, so you've got an an a and an e and an a
So there's no
It's just there's no color to this chord by playing a fifth
You can sing minor thirds [F] or major thirds
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [F] And then there was [A] a sort of a B section and [G] _ _ [F#] [A] this is the progression that was earlier in the intro a [G] minor
C [F#m] over G D over [G] F sharp [D] to D
[F] to an [G] F to a G [A] to an a
And it all leads to the riff which kind of is straightforward [F] power stuff [G] F
G
[A] A and an M.
[F] It's tendency is to chukka chukka [G] chukka chukka
[A] _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _
[G] _ [A] _ [F] Chukka stack the vocals like Queen _
[G#] [A] Don't waste my
[Em] Just for laughs.
I'm gonna play the solo for you because you know
Somebody's somewhere is gonna try and figure this out so I'd had a [D] progression that kind of went
[G] _ _ [C] _ [B] _ [A] _ [G] _ [F] _ _
[E] _ [G#] _ [A] _ [Bm] _ [A] That [D] progression was like D minor [G] G [C] [A] C
To the [G] A minor and [F] G to an F [E] to an E major [A] to an A minor to an A over C [Dm] sharp _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[E] _ [A] _ D minor
[G] This _ [F#m] _ _
[G] _ [A] _ was a [C] different thing
[A] So [F] _ [A] _ that was the end of the solo that little sort of rising progression at the end.
They're all just power fifths like an a
_ [C] _ [D] _ _
[F] _ [G] _ FG and those are there because I wanted to play
triplets and might be at the end of my solo so
Here goes the [D] solo
[Dm] So [G] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ have fun with that one _
