Arctic Monkeys Chords

Looking for Arctic Monkeys chords? Look no further! All the famous indie-rock chords for songs like “Do I Wanna Know?” “Brianstorm,” “Mardy Bum,” “R U Mine?” and others can be found right here. Once upon a time, there were two ordinary boys from Sheffield, England, who both received a gift that would change their lives forever. On Christmas Day, in the year 2001, Alex Turner (Jan. 6, 1986) and Jamie Cook (July 8, 1985) got their first guitars. Together with friends from high school, drummer Matt Helders (May 7, 1986) and bassist Andy Nicholson, they would learn to play their instruments; eventually strumming the first Arctic Monkeys chords. When Andy couldn’t join the North American tour in 2006, he was replaced by Nick O'Malley (July 5, 1985) who has been with the band ever since.

Most Used Chord Combinations:

Arctic Monkeys' songs often feature simple chord progressions that use major and minor chords. One of the most common chord progressions used in their music is the I-V-vi-IV progression, which can be heard in their hit song "Do I Wanna Know?" This progression starts with the I chord (G in the case of "Do I Wanna Know?"), moves to the V chord (D), then to the vi chord (Bm), and finally to the IV chord (C). Another popular chord progression used in their music is the I-vi-IV-V progression, which can be heard in "Fluorescent Adolescent" and "When the Sun Goes Down."

Fastest-selling debut album

Giving away self-produced EPs for free, backed by a huge fanbase on music platform MySpace, Arctic Monkeys became one of the first bands that rode the initial wave of online music successes. By 2005, the hype had settled. Despite the band’s noninterest in record deals, Domino managed to sign the Arctic Monkeys at the beginning of their path to international success. And they released all their albums so far.

In January 2006, *Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I Am Not *was released in the U.K., becoming the country’s fastest-selling debut album. All the Arctic Monkeys chords from this album can be found below, with number one songs like: "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor," and "When the Sun Goes Down."

North English coolness

On the second album Favourite Worst Nightmare (released April 2007), the iconic aggressive indie-rock sound continued. Punchy guitar riffs, dazzling drums, blunt lyrics, and a fascinating stage performance characterized by a North English “we don’t give a fuck” coolness, inherited from bands like The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Oasis, and many others.

The third album, Humbug (released August 2009), was produced by Josh Homme from the Queens of the Stone Age, which partly explains the new sound: heavier, slower, less aggressive punk guitar riffs. On the following albums (Suck It and See 2011, AM 2013), Alex Turner would expand his songwriting skills, changing his looks and performance style from introvert stoner (Humbug), to Elvis-inspired sexiness (AM), to a 70s businessman look on Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (released in 2018).
