Take It All

Electric guitarists tend to stick to barre chords for the fast songs; however, other chords are often more suitable. Take, for example, Take It All's bridge.



In the above, the 1st half uses barre chords, while the 2nd half uses a modified set of chords to blend in with the brass parts. The chords are first played with the recording in the above, followed by a clearer, cleaner, and slower example of the chords.

Playing the Chords

C#m        G#m       F#             E 
Running to the One Who heals the blind
C#m       G#m     F#
Following the shining light
C#m            G#m          F#        E 
In Your hands the power to save the world
   B/D#
My life

When the brass parts enter, play:

C#m/E     G#m/D#   F#/C#           E
Running to the One Who heals the blind
C#m/E     G#m/D#    F#/C#
Following the shining light
C#m/E         G#m/D#        F#/C#     E
In Your hands the power to save the world
   B/D#
My life
