Hi Everyone,

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.

Pink Moon is the song that finally helped put Nick Drake on the musical map. This incredibly talented and creative artist never found much of an audience during his short life but his songs need to be heard by everyone today. The song is played in a C ‘Cluster’ Tuning (C G C F C E) and the lesson is presented in a very different way from all of our previous lessons- Watch, Listen, & Follow The Map.

Enjoy this level 5 lesson!

CGCFCE.......what would we call that chord?

C11?

C = 1
G = 5
F = 11 (4)
E = 3

Right??? :silly: :)

This looks great. Another one of those where there would be no way I could figure it out on my own.

My guess was Cadd4.

Some recordings are slightly sped up or down, nudging them out of tune, right?

Cadd4 would be a clear description and OK in my book, although I slightly prefer the one I used in the vid.

Correct on the speed thing, particularly on songs from that era. It seems unlikely that the piano was tuned slightly high but it's possible. I haven't checked any other songs from that album yet but that might be next.

There were lots of songs by bands like The Beatles and The Doors that are at an 'in between' pitch, Light My Fire being a notorious example.

Aha! I remember that song from a car commercial. The vocals reminded me of Phil Lesh. But it wasn't any Dead song I was familiar with. Now I know why. Looks like a nice lesson. Thanks for introducing me to this artist. Yet another reason why I subscribe to TG.
