The classical Rock 'n' Roll.

Tabbed by Marcos Prieto ([email protected])


If you want to make and play a classical Rock 'n' Roll follow the 
next steps:

1— Choose a chord (for example 'A').
2— Select the 4 and 5 from A scale (no matter major or minor) —>

          T  2 3 4 5 6 7
   MAJOR: A  B  C# D  E  F# G# 
          ^        ^  ^

3— The song structure is like this (in bars):

   2 bars T, 1 bar 4, 1 bar T, 1/2 bar 5, 1/2 bar 4, 2 bars T

   If we replace that for the choosen chords then:

   2 A, D, A, 1/2 E, 1/2 D, 2 A

4— Now let's use the mixolidian scale. The mixolidian scale 
is like the
major scale but changing the 7, that in mixolidian is 7b, half tone
down. For example, the mixolidian from A is:
   
G|————————————————|
D|——————————4—6—7—|
A|————4—5—7———————|
E|5—7—————————————|
  T 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

We'll use this scale for all the bars except for the E  — D bar.

5— Finally you can see the structure. Move this structure depending 
on the chosen chords. The structure is this:

   A                                 D                A
   +   +   +   +    +   +   +   +    +   +   +   +    +   +   +   +    
G||————————————————|————————————————|——————4—5—4—————|————————————————|
D|——————4—5—4—————|——————4—5—4—————|——4—7———————7—4—|——————4—5—4—————|
A|——4—7———————7—4—|——4—7———————7—4—|5———————————————|——4—7———————7—4—|
E||5———————————————|5———————————————|————————————————|5———————————————|

  E       D        A
  +   +   +   +    +   +   +   +    +   +   +   +    
G|————————————————|————————————————|————————————————||
D|——6—9—6———4—7—4—|——————4—5—4—————|————————————————|
A|7———————5———————|——4—7———————7—4—|——————567———————|
E|————————————————|5———————————————|5———————————————||
