Hi Cosmin!
Its always good to create "excuses" to do return vists to cool places! I do it all the time
Ive heard nothing but good things about Poland!
As for the hand, I have no worry over it at all. This is one of those things that will work out, Just needs time, patience and a bit of common sense to not make it worse. With the right advice and time it will be good again. If anything its been a blessing, as its forced me to pursue another musical direction i've always wanted to, but alway postponed!
Enough about me, how about some work
Ok, these guys are the "hometown heroes" of my youth. they always played the summer festivals and really put on a great show.
West End Riot
Intro the lead melody is in the
G major scale CHords
Em and B in the intro, then switchs to
E,B,C,G power chords.
Theres a bit of an Eminor lick at the end of each melody line and the track starts on a Eminor so im thinkin this bits in the
E minor KeyVerseStarts on the Em Chord, Bass runs the E,B,C,G notes. Vocals follow the B,A,G,F,A. Not really a definite conclusion here, but im leaning towards the
E minor Key again as before. The Track seems to lean that way.
PreChorusA# and B chords in this short bit,
vocals do the same thing. Sounds like a
B7 chord ringing out right before the next bit.
Not really sure how this fits. If anything, it make a nice transition and adds tension/build to the chorus.Chorus. Part 1E,B,C,G power chords Then a D and Eb (Octaves or D and D with a flat 2nd added) Vocals follow esentially the same melody as the intro. I think the
E minor key fits again. Except the Eb which is an accidental i guess.
Chorus Part 2Bm, Em, C, G Chords Vocals are again within the E minor scale. Section ends with
Am, Bm, C, D and Em chords also a nice E minor Pentatonic Lick.
Again im thinking E minor keyBridgeFirst bit is
G and C chords Vocal, Roughly G, A B2nd bit is
A and D chords Vocals A, B, DNot sure with these, is the Whole thing switched to G major as the relative major, or is it G major, then A major?The bit rounds of into the solo with
E,B,C,D Chords and i think a B7 again
Back to E Minor here?SoloBass Runs, G,F,Eb,D and then C,Eb,D,G, finishs on D and Eb, then does the E,B,C,G main bit again.
Guitar seems to be playing in G Minor. except for that stray F# near the start.
Im thinking a switch to the
G minor key hereBreakdownThis bit is just a variation on the main verse theme in E Minor.
also G, A, Em chord trown in at the end.
Ok done! Damn that was heaps!
Seems pretty straight forward except for a couple of odd bits.
E minor seems to be the Key.
I guess with a lot of rock arrangments, the "proper" formulas aren't always followed or even Known about. Giving us strange combinations!
Ok, 5 songs done! Where to next? The ball's in your court
