How to play "Imposible" by Rivermaya on guitar
Chords Overview:
"Imposible" uses a combination of minor and major chords to convey a sense of wonder
and disbelief in the lyrics. The main chords in the song include Am7, D, Dm, Dm7, F,
F9, G, Gsus, and E.
Verse Chords:
- Begin with Am7 and alternate with D and Dm to create a reflective atmosphere:
Am7: x02010
D: xx0232
Dm: xx0231
Dm7: xx0211
- The switching between major D and minor Dm chords adds a nuanced contrast that
reflects the song's theme of disbelief and surprise.
Chorus:
- The chorus introduces F, F9, G, Gsus, and E, which are used to express a cautionary
tone:
F: 133211
F9: x3323x
G: 320003
Gsus: 320013
E: 022100
- This section should be played with a bit more intensity to contrast with the
verses, highlighting the lyrical warning of "mag-ingat ka."
Bridge:
- The bridge (notated as 'do stanza chords') reuses the verse chord pattern:
Am7, D, Dm, and Dm7
- Maintain the reflective mood here, allowing the lyrics to resonate fully.
Outro:
- The outro revisits the themes and musical motifs of the verses and chorus,
ending on a series of statements about the improbability of the situation:
"Imposible... parang birthday sa pasko"
- Continue using the established patterns, closing with a reflective fade on
the Am7 chord.
General Tips:
- Focus on clean chord transitions, especially when switching between the
chords with added sevenths and ninths in the chorus.
- Pay attention to the dynamics throughout the song, using softer strumming
in the verses and slightly louder, more pronounced strumming in the chorus
to underscore the shifts in lyrical themes.
Common Mistakes:
- Not varying the strumming intensity between the verses and chorus can make
the song sound monotonous. Be sure to dynamically adjust your playing to
match the emotional and lyrical content.
- Overcomplicating the rhythm can detract from the vocals. Stick to a simple,
consistent rhythm that complements the singing.
Lyrics Meaning:
"Imposible" reflects on the unlikely and seemingly impossible events or feelings
that one might experience, particularly in the context of love or personal
relationships. The song uses cinematic and fantastical imagery to express how
unreal these moments can feel, evoking a sense of wonder and skepticism.
