Unchained Melody
Added 2021-03-26 18:02:01 +0000 UTCHere is another beautiful ballad from the past!
Did you know that over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages? Four versions of this song made it into the Top 40 in 1955! Probably the most popular version is by the Righteous Brothers and this cover is based on it.
The song is carried by a simple 6/8 beat with basic chords, such as C, Am, F, G7. For most of the song I play transcribed vocal phrases, but I also found plenty of space to add some blues lines and double-stops. The flavor of it is just right for a slow blues and I would recommend you play it in a laid back feel, almost as if you were late on the beat - that way you'll slip into the perfect groove for this song.
The form of the song is:
A A B C
A A B D (outro)
