Anouk se interessou pela música porque sua mãe era uma cantora de blues. A princípio Anouk cantava em casamentos e festas com a banda Shotgun Wedding, antes de conhecer Barry Hay do Golden Earring, um amigo de seu ex-marido Edwin Jansen. Barry Hay reconheceu que Anouk tinha talento e ofereceu-se a escrever algumas canções, entre elas "Mood Indigo" (co-escrita por George Kooymans (também do Golden Earring)).[1]
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Exactly the same, but then don't use the final E, you just keep the Am
Verse 3:
FB7DmE
Let me explain what Anouk does in the first and the second verse: After the Am, F, and C, she picks the strings in the following way:
x x x x x x x x 1 x x 0 x 2 x x 1 x 1 x x x x x x x x 0h2 x x x x x x x x
As you can see, this changes from an Bdim7(?) into an E7 or E, I don't know how to write it down, that's why I wrote it down as Bdim7/E7, but don't play these as chords , that doesn't sound right.
Anouk plays the A at the end of the first line in verse 1 and 2 in the following way:
x x 0 x 2 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 x 2 and then Dm x x x x x x x x
The song is in 3/4 time, but she does those 4 strums in 2 bars.
With Am+F#/Am+F I mean the following: After the E she plays this:
x x x x x x x x 1 x x 1 x 2 x x 2 x x x x x x x and then E x x x x x x 2 x x 1 x x
As you might notice in the intro, she uses this as well: She starts off with Am, then goes to F, then she does what I did above, changes to an E, and then returns to the Am, so: Am, F, Am+F#/Am+F, E, Am (=start of verse 1).
It is easy to find out how she plays the other chords and in what order she picks the strings, just listen, play along, and you'll get it in no time.
Probably not everything is correct and I know that I'm still missing a few parts, but I'm sure that most of it is accurate. And if you find any improvements, PLEASE send them to me! -> [email protected], thanks!
Enjoy,
