Here’s the lyrics and the melody notes used underneath: There is a common thread though, and that’s the notes that are used in the melody. The choruses are more major in their tonality, and the solo starts of minor and ends feeling major. The verses have a minor, slightly mournful feel to them. ![]() Look at how the different sections of the song ‘feel’: You’ve discovered one of the interesting things about trying to describe ‘popular’ music in terms of ‘keys’. Unless of course, it's in E-minor, which makes sense for the root notes of the solo (first bend and last note of is E), but then that confuses me as none of the chords played during verse and chorus are E-minor.ĭoes the song perhaps switch between minor and major from verse to chorus? Does that mean that the solo is in minor as it follows the verse rather than chorus, and is therefore in E-minor, while the melody is in G-Major during the chorus? Still, the only time G plays in the solo, is briefly as the rest from a bend to A. It fits with the chords, especially as A-minor uses the Dm chord instead of regular D like the song does. I dismissed the song being in G-Major, until I saw almost all searches lead there. I guessed A-minor/(C-Major), after using one of my favorite apps "Guitar Scales" as a practice to try to identify the root note in the solo, which I didn't think was obvious like in some solos. I learned the song on guitar yesterday, and tried to guess the key today. Or of course when I try my hand at limited composing. Usually, I just care about Keys when I want to improv a solo, and I wanna make sure I know what notes "sound nice" so I don't need to spend time finding them on my own. I've never taken meaningful music theory lessons, but I've been trying to dip my hand into it more and more the last few years. So, I've been playing guitar for about 15 years, since I was a boy. Is it really in G-Major, like most google searches suggest? This is what I further learned about Tangerine.I'm a bit confused around the key of Tangerine by Led Zeppelin. I know from experiences of 2 divorces and many heartache choosing music over.well never mind that. I have known about many of our local artists in 1988 and Bassist Lou Spagnola was one I knew from hearing him play at the "ASH CAN" covering for Vernon West that Lou would excel with his talents. He ended up playing the whole night, and quickly became a permanent member. ![]() Shortly after, keyboard player John Wadkins had a free night so he came by to "sit in" for a few songs. Tangerine began in 1998 as an "every once in a while" side project, though it quickly grew to become something special for band members and followers alike.īass player Lou Spagnola and guitarist Bill Plourde, both of the band Fortune, teamed up with drummer/singer Paul Soares and guitarist Tony Maggio to play the types of songs that had inspired them to become musicians. Shame on me Huh!! But so far today what I have learned is that. Not to mention I took on a college career, started a painting business and recorded my 1st Solo CD "No More Pain" so I think I was very absorbed with 8 years of learning, making a living and recording without checking the new music scene. But being away from the local music scene, since my last days engineering sound for Sass/West at Bill Ashes and other prominent venues , any new band that emerged from then on I was oblivious to. That was my first thought when I first heard of Tangerine. ![]()
