Glycerine Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Glycerine chord chart by Bush. I’m a big fan of 90s rock and Bush was a great band with some pretty cool tunes. This song requires the knowledge of power chords and a little bit of syncopated rhythm. The use of palm muting is also helpful at times which is why this song is a little bit more intermediate in speed. I really don’t have an easy beginner version other than if you would like to play bass notes on the top string (F - 1st fret, Bb5 6th fret) and fifth string (C5 - 3rd fret, D5 - 5th fret).
