Please be kind if I am not up on all the black deth Swedish Euro kill metal.Im trying. Yes Im old school I guess.Im 34, cut my teeth on Dokken, Iron Maiden, Ratt, Judas Priest, Dream Theater, Rough Cutt, Rush. Anyone listen to Halford? Live Insurrection.I dont know much about his guitarists.but that fuckin CD has revitalized heavy metal. Good to see some people metioning Malmsteen.the guy was and is a prodigy.Black Star anyone? Pantera's Cemetary Gates, sends shivers. Eric Johnson and Cliffs of Dover I will definitley second. Lets see, George Lynch.a metal guitar icon for the ages.Kiss of Death, awesome riff and solo. Petrucci and Satriani offer a healthy dose of anything solo.whoever said Iron Maiden, well those guys, in my fined the art of trading leads (even more so than Judas Priest) Adrian Smith and Dave Murray were tight as hell and very smooth (most of the solos of Piece of Mind make the grade). Add that to the list of Paul's beefs with this track.I am really into more melodic soloing as opposed to shredding.but I do like shredding, so dont get me wrong here. Paul is still playing the Cm on the 'original' Let It Be album - it's just that Phil Spector is totally obliterating Paul's harmony by superimposing his orchestral cast of thousands playing a different chord on top. *Restates the main theme instrumentally over Cm As Paul sings lead me to your door and let me know the way the melody is literally leading him home to the root note.īeautiful stuff. Whenever we do land on the root note and the home chord together we get a phrase that speak of being home. Though the lyrics don't make complete sense they really capture a feeling of being on an epic journey, in one way in particular.
It keeps returning to themes, without ever repeating the entire melody, it hits the root note but never rests there till the final note of the section. The verse melody, like the chords is long and winding.

If you listen to the LIB Naked album you can even hear that McCartney further delays the Eb chord in the final verse ( lead me to your door) while he restates the main theme instrumentally over Cm*, before finally finishing on one glorious full root chord.

This ends with a shorter version of the circle (F – Bb – Eb), the first time heading to Eb/Bb (a brief root chord unsettled by a different bass note) and the second time landing on the vi chord (Cm) instead of the root when it heads back to the verse. Road To Nowhere Guitar Pro by Ozzy Osbourne. Let's look at the bridge chord progression. We are cycling through the circle of 5ths G - C – F – Bb – Eb ( ticket 43) the long and winding road through the keys! So chord-wise we thought we were heading home, but we took a few detours, which led us back to the long and winding chord sequence that eventually led us to (the) home (chord).Īnd it's more than a single V chord like Bb7 that tricked us into thinking we re going home.Ĭonsider the progression that occurs twice in the verse Sure, it looks like you're going to lead us to Eb, but you tricked us and lead me back here once before. So are we in Eb major or Ab major? (and haven't we been here before?).Īnd now we have exactly the same chords cycling by again, like familiar landmarks turning up just when we thought we had taken a different path.Īh, you can't fool us so easily. Hey! Wait a minute! Db/Eb? That's not even in the same key! In fact it leads us strongly back again to, you guessed it, Ab major. There is no other chord that leads to Eb as strongly. Everything points to Eb and when we get Bb7 it seems beyond doubt. The Gm to Cm change quickly make us suspect we are in Eb major. Isn't that home? Not when all we get is a lousy two beats we're interrupted by Eb7, which leads us strongly to the key of Ab major.
And he never gets to it in the bridge.īut he's even smarter than that. Here's the verse chord progressionĪs you can see we have a root chord in the 3rd bar. So if you were writing a song about trying to get home but never really arriving what would you do with the 'home' chord? Well Paul McCartney doesn't really arrive at the home chord till the last word of the verse. As soon as we hear a root chord (in this case Eb major) we have a sense of arriving 'home' (in fact it is often called the home chord). More than anything else the chord progression is the key to the mood.
Every element - chords, melody and lyrics - work together perfectly to that end. The song is about being on a never ending journey home to a loved one. In this final post on The Long And Winding Road we get to the heart of why this song is such a success.
