Hi! I'm truly excited learning about music theory: at this point I'm looking at harmonizing major schales, chord substitutions and families.
I think I kind of understand it right now and I want to apply what I've learned. I want to analyze popular songs (by ear training) to find out the key and their progression. I want to start easy not to frustrate myself and this is why I'm asking for your help.
Could you name me some songs that follow a Diatonic Major Scale (sorry if i'm saying it wrong). I know there are quite a lot of them, but since I'm starting, I would like songs that do respect the harmonized scale and do not have chords outside this diatonic scale.
For example, I know Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl is a I - IV - I - V, (G - C - G - D) chord progression and I think all later chords on the song belong to the Diatonic Scale.
You guitar pros.. could you give me more songs of this type? I would really appreciate it! Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, rock, blues.. etc!
I also would appreciate if, in case I'm using musical vocabulary erraticly, that you correct me, since I'm learning and maybe I'm destroying it.
Thank you and forgive me for my english.
