BLOOMFIELD AVE. The strings at the beginning are in A harmonic minor (A B C D E F G#). The main progression is chromatic: D Db C B Bb A, but there are lots of added notes in between that. Notes on Chords: 1) G/B is played as: x 2 5 5 x x 2) The A chord is played at open position (x 0 2 2 2 x) only when it is at the end of a riff... when it follows the D it is played at the 5th position (5 7 7 6 x x) MAIN RIFF: |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |7-7------7--7------7-7------7\-| |7-7------7--7------7-7------7\-| |5-5------5--5------5-5------5\-| |-----5-6-------5-6------5-6----| This riff varies in length... it is twice that long the first time it is played, and is half as long before the breakdown at the end, but it's the same pattern.
