Plug In Baby
Muse
This rock song will incorporate bends and barre chords into your playing.
The main riff of the song is the trickiest part to get right. The unusual sound you hear is the Harmonic Minor Scale!
After the main riff, the verse comes in, and the guitar takes a back seat. Actually - it might be a keyboard used at this section.Â
Either way, here are the chords!
The chorus builds tension with a tritone before launching into a set of barre chords.
Conveniently, the three main chords (G - Bm - F#) all use the same barre shape. It's not until D that we need to change shapes.
And that's it! The remaining guitar work repeats either the main riff or the chorus from here on out.
If you made it through those 3 parts, you're ready to play the whole song from start to finish. Try it out!
