"Hail To The Thief" (recommended!) is a great example of this. If these weird notes were to be added the chords, it'd really spice things up: Ab/C Ab6/C Ab Ab6 G G7* Bb5 Bsus2 E5 E6 |--4--->--1----| |--4-->--4---| |--3-->--3---| |------>--1----| |--0--|>--9---| |--1--->--4----| |--4-->--6---| |--3-->--6---| |------>--1----| |--0--|>--9---| |--1--->--1----| |--5-->--5---| |--4-->--4---| |--3--->--3----| |--4--|>--9---| |--1--->--1----| |--6-->--x---| |--5-->--3---| |--3--->--3----| |--2--|>--6---| |--3--->--3----| |--6-->--6---| |--5-->--5---| |--1--->--1----| |--2--|>--7---| |------>-------| |--4-->--4---| |--3-->--3---| |------>-------| |--0--|>--0---| *The G7 can even be extended to a G7b9 as the flat 9th also is played as a melody note. It's rather hard to pull this one off, but I've added fingers: |---4----| - 2nd finger (middle) |---6----| - 4th finger (pinky) |---4----| - 1st finger (index) |--------| |---5----| - 3rd finger (ring) |---3----| - thumb ...All these chords can be played instead of the regular chords from above. You can also add these (and your own!) melody notes to the chords: C Fm |---0---0-1-3---| |---1-----------| |---1-----------| |---1---1-2-1---| |---0-----------| |---1-----------| |---2-----------| |---3-----------| |---3-----------| |---3-----------| |---------------| |---1-----------| These notes are played in the verses and prechorus at some point, but just add as many small melodies (these are very small) as possible as it gives this extra momentum to the guitar that usually only play chords, go for it! ****************************************************************************
