Topic: Help finding these Chords

As I have mentioned a lot recently, I have been getting into Thunder, and due to the limited tab resources for this band I have had to start working out some of the music myself.

I think I have pretty much nailed this one but there is one part that I still do not think I am getting right, although it does sound close. Perhaps someone else can spot it.

Here is the song and it is the chorus that I am referring to.

[youtube]/watch?v=Rm-J4OWyucY&p=BBFF16D08F55B707&playnext=1&index=7[/youtube]

So the chords I have so far are as follows (most are played as 5s (no 3rd)):

Dm - Bb - F - A - Db

Dm - Bb - Gm - C - Bb - now here is where I struggle)

I currently play this which sounds ok but not 100%

F - Bb - F5/C - B5(flat 5) - G - A

Can anyone help identify this part better?

Re: Help finding these Chords

Can you identify the parts on the video by time, where the place is giving you trouble?  I'm playing along with the video and its not quite matching what you have so maybe if you say 1:32 to 1:41, etc, that would help.

Chorus starts at 2:12 to 2:39

OK that helps default/smile

First off, the chords that you express in the first part seem dead on to me, but that Db, I'd say is a C#, because it seems to sound like 1st inversion of the A preceding it...i.e. A/C#...more or less extending that A...and creating a 1/2 step leading tone to D once more.

If you're talking about the arpeggiating part, then I'm hearing the A note in the bass and not an F as the first chord, so I'd call this an A6.  The next I agree is Bb and in my tab example I show what it sounds like he's doing.  The next is sliding 6ths again to the 5th fret over C so C add 6?  its really only 2 notes C and A, followed by the B note and G notes, so I'd call this a G/B in the bass, or 1st inversion G, which then goes directly to Root position G.

Is this the part you're speaking of?

Re: Help finding these Chords

Another way to play this lick solo, though it doesnt account for the slides Im hearing.
