I would be remiss if I were not to mention that today the rock and roll world lost one of its great pioneers, one that lived in Los Lunas, NM, just South of ABQ, where I live. Bo Diddley died today of a complications from a stroke and later heart attack.
He moved to Los Lunas, NM in the early 1970's, and was a deputy sherriff for two years in that city. He moved from Los Lunas in 1978 to Archer, Florida, and lived there till his death.
He was and is a icon for rock and roll, blues, American Music. Who could ever forget that riff for "Bo Diddley"? So many people copied that riff! Here is a little video clip to remember Diddley's style and sound.

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!
*Repeat then verse

Here is how I hold my hand when I am trying to let the B and E strings ring out for that funny F#/open B, E chord:

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!
