Mike_Muse_Rage

G-0

E, B, F#, G, B, F#

That could be a few chords.

It could be a Bsus4 with a flattened 6th which to me seems like the most likely candidate.

E – B – F# - G – B – F#

E-Minor-add9

G-Major-13

These two chord descriptions are a bit easier to digest.

Awesome, thanks. I got a merit on Grade 5 theory but I'm too lazy to work these things out.

Ian how did you come to know so much about music, did you study music theory since you were a little kid?

I should have taken band or something in junior high... here I am a sophomore in college mucking about on my guitar and the only music theory I know is my major chords, minor chords, basic scales, some pentatonic scales.

No, not "since I was a little kid".
I actually started playing guitar very late (17), but didn't take it seriously.
Then at age 20 I ended up getting a FULL Music Scholarship, so I had to take it seriously (I'm now 33 - so 13 years).
I ended up getting a Music Degree (Jazz Guitar and Classical Guitar Studies - Minor in Guitar Performance).
I'm a guitar instructor - I focus on a practical approach to understanding the instrument (meaning a big emphasis on Music Theory, NOT songs)
I'm also a session artist for Sony® (among others), so I need to know and understand music and music theory to play what's handed to me.
I've been fortunate enough to play/record with many bands/people over the past years.
This is all I do - I make music for a living -- Hope this clears things up for you
If you check out my MySpace site you can hear a couple things I've recorded, and read a bit more about me and what I do:

Yes - I believe I've said that before.
It was during my studio troll days - when I never left the studio - like that was soo long ago .
I recorded a tune with them in late 1996 (though admitedly I've never heard it on anything).
Ed was having some vocal trouble at that time, so I had to come back the next day.
It might be on a B-side or something, but more than likely it was just never used.
