  1. −1 D

    13 - Jolene (Dolly Parton)

    With flaming locks of auburn hair. Man, what a song, and what a RIFF. Shoutout to Chip Young for this one! Love Dolly's melody here, and how it beckons each chord. Classic, classic tune.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Support the show

    12 - The Logical Song (Supertramp)

    The questions run so deep...for such a simple man! Supertramp is my dad's favorite band, so had to do this one! Such a fan of the sophisticated work here, and the melody makes it all make sense.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Support the show

    11 - The Unforgiven (Metallica)

    They dedicate their lives - to running all of his! Most beautiful song off the Black Album? Did you know that main theme's chord progression is the same as Fade To Black's? Very cool little ode there. The lyrics and chords are in perfect harmony here.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown Support the show

    10 - Maybe I'm Amazed (Paul McCartney)

    You right me when I'm wrong! One of the best post-Beatles songs. And there's something very special about the live version. Just beautiful how he adds that alternate ending. An exquisite love song!  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown Support the show

    9 - Limelight (Rush)

    The underlying theme! A true rock staple. 3/4 mixed with 4/4 mixed with 7/4. Relative Major and minor. Suspended chords. Introspective lyrics. So RUSH. One of my all time favorites.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown Support the show

    8 - Inertiatic Esp & Son et Lumiere (The Mars Volta)

    Nowwww I'm lost! Insanely cool opening to a debut album. Haunting chord progressions, explosive hits, Latin flare, uncanny singing, ridiculous drums, Flea on BASS, and unorthodox guitar parts. The Mars Volta is unforgettable. Sort of like a Latin Zeppelin, but still truly unique.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown Support the show

    7 - Plush (Stone Temple Pilots)

    Got time, time to wait for tomorrow. The chromatic descension... the bluesy-ness! Song has grown on me so much over time. Each section has its own distinct chord progression. And the bluesy delivery glues it all together.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown Support the show

    3 - Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel)

    Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes. Two worlds here - two keys. Premium songwriting at play. Harmony galore. Tasteful guitar playing. Ahead of it's time!
