Love Shack & Sweet Caroline

Sweet Caroline drives em wild. I will never understand why that song gets such a strong reaction. Start on E Quarter notes. The goes up to A quarter notes. Only changes are 1, 4, 5. If this one throws you, it may be a sign to get a few more theory and ear training lessons.

You will love gigging that song.

That isn't even the right key for the recorded version- The song starts in F#- Then the verses are B to E then B to F#. With some cool walkdowns- the chorus is B (bounce to the low F#) to E (bounce to the B ) Repeat the E lick for a couple measures-- then F# to C# bounc.. then the walkdown F# octave- F# low G# A# back to B
