The Muppet Guitar Project

[JJandJanice]

I play the guitar as well. I have tabs on the Rainbow Connection in this little book.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

That's really useful, jediX. I've been looking for the chords to 'Rainbow Connection' for some time now.

A lot of the Fraggle Rock tunes are really heavy on C, F and G, with the occasional A or D, so they're dead easy. You can just pick up your guitar and strum along as you watch.

 

[pepestarr]

That's great! I have chords for two songs which I will post very soon.

Hawian War Chant and Everyone Matters

 

[jediX]

I figured I'd ressurect this thread that I sort of abandoned during my disappearance. I have a few other tunes that I've figured out that I'd be willing to post if anyone is interested, such as "Sweet Vacation" from JHH.

 

[Vic Romano]

Wow, this is awesome; thanks, JediX! And it's great to see you around again too!

 

[CaptainPunjab]

I am lucky enough to have perfect pitch, so it is pretty easy for me to identify chords. I'll try to do a couple of songs later today.

Can You Picture these Chords?

EDIT:
I'm really sorry for double-posting, I didn't realize there was an Edit button at first!

CAN YOU PICTURE THAT
This song is pretty simple, in terms of chords, although the instruments do some pretty cool things in the background...

Intro/Between Verses
C7 F7
C7 F7

Verse [it's the same for all the verses, so I just wrote out one]

C7
Everybody's lover, everybody's brother, I wanna be your lifetime friend.
C7
Crazy as a rocket, nothin in my pocket, I keep it at the rainbow's end.
F7
I never think of money, I think of milk 'n honey, grinnin like a cheshire cat.
C7
I focus on the pleasure, somethin' I can treasure, can you picture that?

Chorus
Bb B C
Can you picture that?
Bb B C
Can you picture that?


Bridge
Am
Fact is there's nothin out there you can't do
F7
Yeah, even Santa Claus believes in you.
Am
Beat down the walls, begin, believe, behold, begat.
F
Be a better drummer!
B
Be an up and comer.
Bb B C
Can you picture that?

End
C7
Can you picture? You gotta see it in your mind!
F7
Can you picture?
D
You know it's quick and easy to find!
C
Can you picture? You don't have to buy a frame!
F7
Can you picture?
Bb B C
Can you picture that?
Bb B C
Can you picture that?
Bbsus4
Use it if you need it, don't forget to feed it!
Bb B C
Can you picture that?

And then it ends on a really complicated chord-- sounds kinda like D chord, but the bass plays an E note, and there's probably a C somewhere in it too...

 

[jediX]

Nice, I hadn't seen a midi of that one for reference, either. It sounds right to me.... kudos.

As for the final chord, it sounds nice if you combine a variant of the E and D chords. I use this:

e|-2-|
B|-3-|
G|-2-|
D|-2-|
A|-2-|
E|-0-|
