superstar Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Well a Gm chord is made out of the notes G, Bb, and D and a Bb chord consists of Bb, D, and F, so they both have a majority of the same notes and that's why it's easy to mistake them.

Fmbm Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 That's why bass is really important when you're trying to figure out the chords to a song because they're usually playing the root note of the correct chord.

Fmbm Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 thats a brilliant tip nono:thumb_yello: Thanks, I hope it helps everyone. It certainly helps me! I'll be trying to focus on the piano bits, but when that doesn't work, I'll listen for the bass and then I can usually figure out the right notes. Yay for bass guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Loverboy more specifically(: That would be so wonderful, i would seriously just love anyone who gave me that forever! I WOULD BOW DOWN TO YOU. haha I just so badly for the TBWKTM, music to come out already and i'm just waiting and waiting but it's not coming! I can't take it anymore!

Dolly10 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hey, I have found on Amazon both of MIKA's albums in paperback music books with guitar tab, piano and vocal scores. I have Life in Cratoon Motion but am currently finding it hard to get The Boy Who Knew Too Much it seems to be only available in America. If you have any links or somewhere where i could get the Music in the UK could you Post the Links or something? I'm currently learning Any Other World, Happy Ending and Over My Shoulder, totally jamming every night lol. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EsMusic Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 also does any know the chords to "Any Other World" ???, the way Meeks plays it live !!!, i know the first few but i seem to get lost !!! aaahhh !!! lol Erm, bear with... This isn't what it says in the sheet music, and it doesn't quite sound right on guitar, but it's fine on piano, and should be close to the live version... All one bar unless mentioned, I think: Eb Eb bass D Eb bass C, or Cm (doesn't matter if picking), for 2 bars Ab5 [ 466XXX ] or Ab in sheet music [ 466544 ] Eb Bbsus4 (which is Eb instead of D) [ X13341 ] Bb and that's it. You'd hold the bass note for a bar at around 2 octaves below middle C on a piano, or not at all on guitar. The right hand is simple, for example this is it plus a bit of the lyrics all in the G-Eb-G-Eb-G-Eb-G-Eb In any other Smiiiiiiiiile like you hands of a G-D-G-D-G-D-G-D world mean it bitter bitter (each syllable on the G in bitter bitter) G-C-G-C-G-C-G-C man say good G-C-G-C-G-C-G-C BASS: C---Bb--- bye to the Ab-Eb-Ab-Eb-Ab-Eb-Ab-Eb You could tell the let your self let world you thought you G-Eb-G-Eb-G-Eb---G-Eb difference go lived in F-Eb-F-Eb-F-Eb-F-Eb F-D-F-D-F-D-F-D Over and over, pedal on and off every chord change. You might want to play heavily, or strum/play both hands after the chorus to imitate the cellos. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... Hope that helps, I do believe it's all quavers. He might change the key live, I can't remember. If so probably to F (F, F/E, F/D or Dm, F/D or Dm, Bb, F, Csus4, C)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsMusic Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 hey do any of you guys know the chords in the instrumental part that appears in "Blame It On the Girls" ??? F for a bar, G for a bar, C for a half bar, Em for a half bar, Am for a bar, I think. The piano melody goes C A c B G b B G b A E A C C C C B B B B G G G G A A A A, if each capital letter is a crotchet and each lower-case is a quaver. You'll need to listen to the record to get the rhythms right - this is if you play it straight, but he plays bits of it swung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveLoveMika!!!! <3 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I love this thread! Thank you guys, you're all very talented Me and PunkiePenguin do all our music GCSE performances together apart from the solo ones lol, and when we do, we normally do a Mika song. We've done over my shoulder, are rehearsing Rain (the version he did on that Popstar Operastar thing,) and are also practicing Happy Ending. I sing, and Mil plays the piano. And we have a friend who sings with us, so nomally we split verses, and I take harmonies when there are any We have the piano/vocal/guitar book for LICM, but not for TBWKTM so it's great to look on here and find chords for songs from the new album.
