[A]
[F#] [D] [A]
[D] [A]
[D] [A] I know, it could be almost [Em] anything, right?
[F#] [D] I knew this would give it away.
[G] [A]
[D] [E] [A]
[D] [E] [A] Yeah, you
got it.
[N] Donovan, Season of the Witch.
Oh, did you get it?
This is a short lesson I put
together over at Totally Guitars that just talks about very simple songs, almost campfire
style that have two chord progressions, which is really what's going on here.
You can [D] play
this in any key.
You can [G] slow it down a little bit, make it sound a little bit more like
Al Cooper's version [Bm] with Steve Stills [D] playing guitar.
[G] [N] But in 1966, Donovan took up the electric
guitar and this was the first song, after making two albums of folky kind of stuff,
well, serious folk songs, Colors and Catch the Wind and many others.
But then on his
third album, Sunshine Superman, came out with the electric guitar and sounded a little bit
like, well, then the revolution was not quite as loud as when Dylan did this in Newport,
but still was a change in sound and really headed into the world of psychedelic stuff.
And this was English psychedelic sounds that were very similar to what was going on here
in California with Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Down South, The Birds, and The Doors.
And anyway, so very influential.
And of course, Donovan did a lot of fingerpicking, taught
Paul and John how to do some patterns that showed up on the White Album, so really influential
musician.
Anyway, the lesson on this really just goes [D#] into the chord [A] progression and then
some thoughts on jamming, playing chords, [C] [D] and making a [N] little lead while you're keeping
the chords going and stuff like that.
So we talk about the minor pentatonic pattern and
blues scales and things like that.
