Light My Fire

A minha contribuição para o forum:

Hello guitar mates,

I played this song for quite awhile.

Actually on the chorus it is:
G A D
G A D
G D E
(All major)

Terry did not have the wrong chords, only it was a whole tone down. The vocal start:
Gm7 Em7
Instead of the original:
Am7 F#m7

As for improvising, the chorus is on D major scale (C for Terry) and in the last chord it modulates up a whole tone to E major (D for Terry).
On the vocal part, A natural minor or pentatonic should work (G minor for Terry: G A Bb C D Eb F/Eb G)
On the solo part, the chords are Am7 Bm7 (Gm7 Am7 for Terry) but you can use the same scale as vocal part. Note that changes are twice faster.
The bass is awesome; you should try it as well. It goes like this:
------------------------------
------------------------------
------------------------------
------------------------------
------------7-------------9--
---5-----8----7------10---5………
Am7 Bm7 Am7….
(Terry, as you should do it 2 frets down, i.e. starting on 3)

Since we’re here, the guitar solo is very interesting. It starts on first string: 3 5 7 8 7875…
The last part is ho and po (hammer on and pull off, I think)
