Randy's favorite chord
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2009 5:55 am
I was curious about Don Airey's explanation of Randy's favorite chord from an interview discussed here in one of these general topics. He is quoted as saying the following:
"I remember his (Randy's) favorite chord, which was one in the film Carrie, when the hand comes out of the grave - we'd play that bit of the video over and over again."
I tried to find out what this chord is: Play these notes as follows;
C(middle)-F#(augmented 4th lower)-F#(octave higher)-D#(minor 3rd lower)-C(first note you played) and then back to F#(augmented 4th lower) or simply the 2nd note you played.
This chord has a diminished sound to it, something Randy deeply loved and even told Joe Holmes (one of his past students and who also played with Ozzy) to study. Very cool indeed...
