En 1964, The Guess Who le probó a la juventud del Canadá que sus grupos podían tener canciones exitosas, no solo en su país, también en todo el mundo. En aquel entonces pensar que en medio de la invasión británica "Shakin' All Over" pudiera igualar a los Beatles o a la respuesta norteamericana vestidos de Beach Boys era inconcebible. La banda se convirtió en un ejemplo para otros músicos de su natal Winnipeg para que dejaran de pensar en que la buena música tenía que ser inglesa o estadounidense.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Song: Straighten Out (Cummings, Wallace) Artist: The Guess Who Album: Road Food Tabber: Nick Gray Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard
One very simple song with a couple of interesting jazz chords. The song has a great jazz feel to it. My favorite from the Road Food album. The chords are complimenting the piano. Lyrics from http://www.ghg.net/bnsteiss/lyrics/lyricsmain.html
