Chordplay - The Chords Of Rainbow

Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords Of Rainbow. I've had a lot of requests to feature some of Rainbow's music and we've already hit a Three-For-All for Ritchie Blackmore featuring some of his licks, along with a Deep Purple Chordplay lesson hitting some of his chord moves. Needless to say, this Rainbow episode is long overdue, but we're finally focusing on some of their pioneering style and massively influential hard rock music - so here we go! This episode features plenty of classic tracks, along with some lesser-known "fan favorites." This material includes familiar Rainbow songs such as 'Man On The Silver Mountain' along with some true "deep cuts" with tracks such as 'Rainbow Eyes,' 'Rock Fever,' 'Run With The Wolf,' 'Catch The Rainbow,' and much more. This lesson also includes a segment from Rainbow's impressive cover of the Yardbirds classic 'Still I'm Sad,' which Rainbow has technically covered twice. The first time it was featured on their self-titled debut from 1975 and the second time in 1995 on the Rainbow album Stranger In Us All. Needless to say, the chord-based melodic intro section from the '95 version of this song is AMAZING, and we're hitting my favorite section of it in this lesson! If you're already a Rainbow or Ritchie Blackmore fan, then you know what's waiting in this episode, but for those that are new to Rainbow's music and the fretboard wizardry of Mr. Blackmore - this episode is for you, so dive in and have some fun rockin' out with some of these classic hard rock anthems and ideas!
