Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords Of Great White. I've had numerous requests to feature some Mark Kendall and the music of Great White, and now I've finally created it - so let's dive in!
Great White exploded on the scene in the mid/late 1980s with their album 'Once Bitten' in 1987. The album had two minor hits - 'Rock Me' and 'Save Your Love.' The band followed that album with 'Twice Shy' in 1989 and it literally exploded on the scene, thanks in part to the cover of Ian Hunter's classic 'Once Bitten, Twice Shy', which was played constantly on MTV and the radio at the time.
Around the same time, Great White also helped usher in acoustic rock and "unplugged" music on MTV, when they were one of the early performers on the channel's famed 'Unplugged' program, and totally rocked a cover of the Led Zeppelin classic 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'. An edited rebroadcast of that live performance aired on MTV daily for over a year.
The riffs and chord-based ideas shared in this lesson come from Great White's heyday, with hard-rockin' tracks like 'On The Edge,' 'Desert Moon,' and 'Mista Bone,' along with some of their bluesier numbers, such as 'House Of Broken Love,' 'Rock Me,' and 'Mistreater.' I also made sure to include a section from my favorite Great White song - the standout chords from the emotive ballad 'Save Your Love.'
There's plenty of great chord-based ideas floating around in this lesson, so give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!
