Slade (glam rock - hard rock) es una de las bandas de rock más aclamadas de la década de los 70 en Inglaterra, formada por Noddy Holder (voz, guitarra) , Jim Lea (bajo, teclados, voz), Dave Hill (guitarra, voz) y Don Powell (bateria).
Entre los años 1971 y 1974 colocaron 12 canciones entre las 5 primeras de las listas británicas, siendo 6 de ellas número 1.
Con la llegada del punk y la 'nueva ola' Slade se vieron relegados a un segundo plano
¡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!
This classic song by the 70s UK Glam Rock stars: Slade was originally played on electric guitar which would have meant a lot of barre chords.
However, I’ve done this as an acoustic guitar-friendly version for those who prefer to cut down on their barred chords. If you are not an advanced player, you can stick to the chords excluding those in brackets (and in fact if you don’t like a barred Bm, you can play just Em in its place throughout quite comfortably – it sounds close enough in this context). Better players can bring in the bracketed chords. Note: D alt is an altered version of D, there are 2 choices shown – one with quite a stretch on the little finger, the other with a move up the neck – take your choice!)
Have fun... Merry Christmas (if it's that time of year) and if you have any comments feel free to email as below. Cheers, David
