Skylark - A New Progression | Practise New Chords

Skylark has a nice easy chord progression to memorise and try out in other keys: 1 2 3 4 1 b5 4... 3 6 2 5 1.. with two tiny differences on the 6 and 2 as I explain. Very easy to play around with so why not give it a go?

Frankly I have never listened this song before until now. First I did Is to try get this song in to my internal jukebox by listening Ms. Linda Ronstadt sang “Skylark” with her gorgeous voice for many times. Then, I dissected chord progression of the entire song. I noticed there are many 2-5-1 (Fm7- Bb7- Eb6) in the key of Eb. Indeed, it is passionate song. Key of E-flat fits well since Eb key is known for love, devotion, and intimate conversion with in this case skylark ( a brown bird singing while flying). Thanks Dan, wonderful choice for a tutorial. 🎶👍🙏

Thanks for uploads Dan, I don't know if I'm going to learn all this, but nevertheless it's a great thing to see someone put so much effort and attention into their products (timestamps, links, description etc.). Have a great day!

Really enlightening video for this beautiful song. Chord dissection and Tritone Substitution clearly and simply explained. I'm enjoying playing the chords in other keys. Timestamps useful. For all of these things, thank you Dan.
