FAITHLESS
(do intro)
stanza1:(intro/stanza chords)
your so-called friends
your so-called career
the time on your hands
the lover you cheat on every Monday night
your sense of protection
your chord progressions
refrain:(do ref)
you had the world
stanza2:(do stanza chords)
indebted to no one
but your electronic diary
well, that's impressive
you're so complete! (ref)
chorus:(do chorus)
until we tumble we are faithless
until our senses fail were faithless
until we falter we are faithless
until there's nothin' left to hold on to
stanza3:(do stanza chords)
the turn of events
the twister called fate
it came without warning
they gave you no freakin' sign
so now you've got zero
now you've got nil
refrain2:(do ref)
how does it feel?
(do chorus chords)
until we tumble we are faithless
until our senses fail were faithless
until we falter we are faithless
(do adlib)
(do chorus chords once tpos riff1 then chorus ulit)
(do riff2)
"only in darkness
can we plainly see
the hand that saves
and sets us free.
How to play "Faithless" by Rivermaya on guitar
Intro and Verse Riff (Studio Version):
- Start with a slide from the 6th to 7th fret on the A string followed by playing the 7th
fret three times.
- Play the 7th fret on the low E string once, then move to the 7th fret on the D string and
play a quick 7-6-6 sequence.
- Repeat this riff as indicated for the verse.
Live/Acoustic Version Chords for Verse:
- The chord shapes used are based on higher frets, creating a fuller, more resonant sound.
- Start with your fingers on the 9th fret G string and 7th fret on the D and A strings.
- Slide from the 14th to 13th fret on the G string while maintaining the 12th fret on the D and A
strings.
- Repeat this sequence as needed for the verses.
Refrain Options:
- Option A (Acoustic flavor): Play the 13th fret on the G string and the 11th fret on the D and A
strings. This is played twice for each refrain.
- Option B (Electric sound): Play the 6th fret on the D string and the 7th fret on the A string,
then slide to the 7th fret on the D string and the 5th fret on the low E string.
Chorus:
- Before and during the chorus, play the 9th to 11th to 14th frets on the G string, and the 7th to
9th to 12th frets on the D and A strings.
Adlib Sections:
- The adlib involves various melodic lines focusing mainly on the G, D, and high E strings.
- Start with the 7th to 9th frets on the D string, incorporating hammer-ons and simple melodic
movements between the 6th and 9th frets.
Riff1 and Riff2:
- Riff1: Slide between 9th to 11th to 13th to 14th frets on the G string, and keep the 9th fret on
the D and A strings.
- Riff2: Focus on a hammer-on from the 7th to 6th fret on the D string, a technique requiring
persistence to master. This riff repeats until the end.
Song Structure:
- Follow the song structure from the intro to the verses, chorus, adlib, and the repeated riffs
as the song progresses. Each part has its own unique elements that contribute to the overall
dynamic of the track.
Common Mistakes:
- Not maintaining the rhythm during slides and hammer-ons, which can disrupt the song’s flow.
- Overlooking the distinction between acoustic and electric parts, especially in live settings.
General Tips:
- Practice the slides and hammer-ons slowly to ensure accuracy before speeding up.
- Listen to both studio and live versions to grasp the differences and dynamics of each.
