Welcome to Guitarthrill.blogspot.com!

Hello-If you came by looking for guitar information, I am hoping that you can get some inspiration, information, and ideas from this blog! From time to time I will offer some ideas on how to play some songs that either are not found in tablature on the internet, or that may be transcribed inaccurately, or just some songs that I find interesting, and I hope you find interesting!

For this first post I am going to describe the chords to the English pop singer Aqualung's "Brighter Than Sunshine"



This is a great song-I really like the British pop sound and this is a song with some great hooks and a really beautiful arrangement. Guitars are not at the forefront of this song, its more keyboard-driven, but the guitar can easily be used to augment the sound of this tune.
Here are the chords I hear in this song. Sorry its a little messy, but I think you'll get the picture if you play along and use these chords. Good luck!

Have fun! This is a really melodically interesting song, with its semi-chromatic chordal progressions in the verse. I like it and I hope you do too!
