The Easiest Way To Play 505 by Arctic Monkeys

The Easiest Way To Play 505 by Arctic Monkeys
This song uses only two chords throughout, Dm and Em, the easiest way to jam along is to use open Dm and Em chord voicings. Though the actual voicings used on the record are Am shaped barre chord voicings with the roots at the 5th and 7th fret of the A string.
We'll also take a quick look at the main motif / riff that repeats throughout the song.

When should I be playing the riff?

[@ProgressiveGuitar1]

It comes in properly at about 1m 35s on the studio recording just before the bass kicks in. The riff is played over both chords, Dm and Em and starts on beat one. There are some extra notes added occasionally too!

I really love this tutorial, but I must say, you remind me of Axel from Axel in Harlem. (pls dont be mad)

[@ProgressiveGuitar1]

haha! Thanks

If you prefer barre chords you can play :
Minor shape at 4th fret = Dm
Minor shape at 6th fret = Em

Very easy to play with electric guitar with whammy bar. Not as much as acoustic.
