Crash Into Me Help!!!!

Post by U2Boy »

Could someone tell me how I am supposed to play a chord that has a "*" asterisk in it. The chords in Crash mostly have this "*" symbol. What does that symbol imply to do?

Thanks,
Matt

the "*' implies that you should mute that string while playing the chord...

For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

Your finger should touch the string lightly so it wont resonate. Hence, muting the string.
