The Spider Chord is a guitar technique popularized during the 80s thrash metal scene. Although its origins are unknown, it is widely regarded as being invented by Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, although Kerry King has also claimed he was the first to use it. It is used to reduce string noise when playing (mostly chromatic) riffs which require chords across several strings.The Spider Chord requires the player to use all four fingers. Two fingers will be fret 5th while the other fret another 5th. This technique then allows you to run down the neck playing either of the two chords.
