Here we look at the main guitar for Selling the Drama. This song is in Eb tuning, so tune each string down by 1 note to:

Low Eb:Ab:Db:Gb:Bb:Eb

The song has some nice acoustic chord changes. It sounds nice on a 12-string, which is used in the song. But here we keep it on a standard 6 string for convenience.

The main song parts are quite straightforward. Once you know the 3 main song progressions you'll be able to play the whole song through easily:

Intro / Verse - The song starts on the main guitar hook. A hook is a catchy riff that pulls you into the song. For most people, it is their favourite part. The hook here is quite simple, simply start with a half bend before strumming through:

G major - D major / D sus4 (repeat)

Then play E minor - Bm7 - C add9

And that's all you need do for all the verses. The chorus is also pretty simple stuff:

Chorus - This sequence of chords is just:

C sus2 - D sus2 - Then alternate between E minor - A major - End on C add9

That is all you need to play through the whole song! The only extra part is for the solo, at the end of the second chorus:

Solo Backing - Just continue on from the standard chorus chords with the following progression:

C add9 - D sus2 - E sus2 - D sus2 - C add9 - Then just go to the main Verse riff, slowly strumming each chord once only.
