>>New Target and Pay Per Lesson - I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2018 2:19 pm
Hi Everyone,
Happy Monday!
Our newest Target and Pay Per Lesson release for you is I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats!
I Don’t Like Mondays, is a song by Irish band The Boomtown Rats about the 1979 Cleveland Elementary
School shooting in San Diego/California. It was written by their lead singer and Band Aid co-founder Bob
Geldof.
The title is based on the explanation that 16-year-old shooter Brenda Ann Spencer gave when being
asked why she had done it. She responded: ‘I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day.’
The song is heavily piano driven and this lesson teaches how to play a similar sounding arrangement on
the guitar.
It’s done in standard tuning, but in order to match the original recording one would need to tune down
all six strings a half step.
We take a look at the progression in the key of C, the signature intro and several little melodic piano fills,
which appear throughout the song. This creates quite a few challenges for both the fretting and strumming
hand.
Enjoy this level 6 lesson!
