†sprinkling stark sustained treble tones and abstract harmonies on top of fat processed bass (played by Hard) as the composition unfolds. John Medeski (of Medeski Martin & Wood) underlays organ chords and blues phraseology to perfection on â€Å...
Thank you. In fact, I asked Enrico – don’t play minor chords. Just a few notes to support my harmonica and my talking vocals. Just play as if Son House one day woke up and said, I want to play and singPrecious Lord, Take My Hand.And it seems that people that don’t listen m...
Mr. Shipp moves on to another theme. Each part (or song) each of the four suites has a central theme or kernel, which Mr. Shipp carefully states, then expanding it, letting select chords resonate, as the waves get deeper. Sometimes Mr. Shipp speeds up and casts off some quietly...
with shimmering, arpeggiated guitar chords and playful bass lines swelling to a titanic chorus. "I Remember" is less successful, retreadingTooth and Nail's "Alone Again" and sputtering during its soppy chorus. Therein lies the paradox ofHeaven Comes Down: Many of its best moments recall Dokken...

“three chords and the truth” motto to its logical conclusion. Even album cuts like “Love on the Rocks” and “Back to the Rocking Horse” rocked respectably, a major victory in the hits-and-filler era. And to understand the abject absurdity of the decade's crusading parental groups, ...
I'm still hoping I can get that far No one escaped the whirlwind's hold Except the jailer and his pack of cards And I sit outside watching falling stars Playing D minor chords on a Spanish guitar Well clothes blew through the streets And so did cinema seats Their souls could not be ...
29, 1977, 'The Stranger' spotlighted Joel's knack for combining rock with Tin Pan Alley-style chords and melodies. It resulted in four Top 40 singles, including the No. 3 "Just the Way You Are," which landed him Grammys for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It's since ...
