Chordplay - The Chords of Soundgarden

Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords of Soundgarden.
The late-great Chris Cornell along with Kim Thail created their own style of unique riffs, songs, and alternative-rock anthems during the 1990s and this lesson reveals a little of their secret tunings, grungy chord moves, sludge riffs, and more.

This includes chord-based ideas coming from songs such as 'Outshined,' 'Holy Water,' 'Black Hole Sun,' 'Fell On Black Days,' and more. Their combination of super-fuzz tones with wacky dropped-tunings paved the way for other groups that hit the scene to explore altered tunings and drop-tuned ideas, which is a trend and guitar behavior that is still seen in today's world of slack-strung music and guitarists, so there's a lot to respect about these pioneering music magicians from Seattle.

This episode will be a trip down memory lane for some fans of this group, while newcomers will have a chance to see and hear what some of the fuss was about surrounding the hard-hitting riffs and interesting tunings and chord choices coming from these Seattle legends.
