Chords for Andrew Stockdale Does A Great 'Slash' Impersonation (Getmusic Interview)

_ Hey, I'm Andrew Stockdale and you're watching [Bm] Get Music.
[C#] Get my music.
Just click on the [F] computer, _ [C#] get it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ [A#] _ [N] I don't know what I think of when I'm writing a song.
I just think, _ _ _ I _ think it's just a natural phenomenon that I have a voice that _ gets compared
to people like Robert Plant or _ [G#] Axl Rose.
[G#m] I can sing _ higher [F#] and when you put that [Fm] together with riffs, [E] it's like, here's a few bands
that [Gm] _ [G#] sound like that.
[E] _ But [N] _
when I'm writing a song _ as an influence, _ it's not _ the best idea for me to go, hey,
I better write a song like Led Zeppelin or I better write a song like Guns N' Roses.
I'm going to listen to that CD and then I'm going to try and write.
But maybe I [C#m] should.
_ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ Maybe I [F#] should.
It could [N] work, but I haven't tried it yet.
[C#m] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In _ Byron Bay, there's a lot of drums and didgeridoos and kind of like roots music and that's kind
of what people go for, that world music kind of thing.
But _ _ _ _ when I'm writing a song, I don't know where [C#] I am. _ _
[Fm] You know what I mean?
I literally, I'm in the studio and [N] I walk out and I'm like, oh, I'm in Byron Bay.
Cool.
You know what I mean?
There's _ _ rainbow lorikeets _ and the ocean and fresh air and you just go, oh, this is [G#] cool.
We get to do this [F#] in a beautiful [D] place.
When you go into a creative [A] mindset, you [E] seriously, it's just like, I [G#] could live anywhere.
_ I could [F#] live _ [C] here, there.
[Cm] _ [E] And once I'm in the room [C#] just with a guitar, I'm just like, _ _ _ _ _ [B]
you just [F#] drift off.
_ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ He [B] _ _ contacted me _ [N] and my manager asked me if I wanted to do it.
I was like, yeah, let's do [F#m] it.
_ [E] _ _ Yeah, I was excited.
[F] I was excited.
[F#] I thought, [Fm] that's great because [E] you never know who's listening to your music.
_ _ And then it [G#] turns out _ Slash is listening to your music.
[G] _ And [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [C#] it was good, you know, [N] because I was making Cosmic Egg and then at the end of the sessions,
I _ just worked on the song that Slash had and I spent like two or three hours on it, wrote
a chorus, did a few things, went in there, played it to Slash.
_ _ And he's like, I love it.
It's great.
_ And we recorded it. _ _
_ _ _ And I [G#] remember _ _
[D#] _ _ _ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ being in the studio when we tracked that [N] song.
We did it in one session.
We're in that studio and I was like, hey, with the drum fills at the end, can you go
da-na-na-na-na, da-na-na-na-na, bam, da-da [Am]-da-da-na.
And the drummer was [F#m] like, _ _ _ [F] I think we should [N] listen to what Mr.
Valentine says, the producer.
He's the one who's in charge of this session and you should just _ see what Mr.
Valentine
has to say.
And then Slash is like, _ no, I think Andrew's got a good idea there.
I think we should do this.
And then it was like, _ yeah, man, you asked [G#m] me to come in here.
You want my _ [F#] _ [N] contribution to this thing?
[G] _
_ _ I'm going to give [G#] it.
You know what I mean?
I want to make this a good song.
So it's funny, _ _ you've just got to put your best foot forward, [C#] hey. _
[N] And then the other thing is when that record finished, I said to Slash, I was like, _ _ _ hey,
you don't have to put this on the record, hey.
If this isn't [C#m] good enough, don't put it on the record.
I won't be offended.
[F] I'm just grateful [B] for the opportunity.
Then I get a [F#] call back and he's like, _ _
[E] we're going to make this the first single of the record.
[N] _
_ _ And I was like, cool.
[A#] _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [A#m] _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ [A] _ _
