The Monkees fue una banda de rock creada artificialmente para un programa de televisión y que tuvo bastante éxito en la década de los 60. Como curiosidad, sólo uno de sus integrantes era músico; el resto aprendió a tocar durante la producción del programa.
Sus integrantes, tres de ellos originarios de Los Angeles, USA, y uno de Manchester, Inglaterra, eran Davy Jones (voz y percusión), Michael Nesmith (voz y guitarra) Peter Tork (teclado, bajo y voz) y Micky Dolenz (voz y batería).
¡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!
When picking the end riff of guitar intro one pick down on both strings for the first for the third pick down then up to account for the smaller gap between the last two notes (listen to the song for exact timing)
GDG I thought love was only true in fairy tales GDG Meant for someone else but not for me. CG Love was out to get me CG Thats the way it seemed. CGD Stop. Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
[Chorus]
For the chorus the strumming pattern is simply down, down-up, down (V V^V). so you play first chord (G) on the first down strum, and hit the C on the final down strum, and change chords on the upstroke. During the chorus Guitar two should play the guitar 2 inro riff over each line of the chorus.
GCG Then I saw her face, CGCG now Im a believer CGCG Not a trace CGCG of doubt in my mind. C G(one stroke then mute) C(one stroke) Im in love, ooh G(one stroke) F(one stroke) D (Riff below) Im a believer! I couldnt leave her if I tried.
Play this Riff exactly the same as the end of the beggining riff except repeat twice (as indicated).
[Verse 2]
GDG I thought love was more or less a given thing, GDG Seems the more I gave the less I got. CG Whats the use in tryin? CG All you get is pain. CGD Stop. When I needed sunshine I got rain.
[Chorus]
GCG Then I saw her face, CGCG now Im a believer CGCG Not a trace CGCG of doubt in my mind. C G(one stroke then mute) C(one stroke) Im in love, ooh G(one stroke) F(one stroke) D (Riff below) Im a believer! I couldnt leave her if I tried.
[Solo]
The solo for this song is very simple even for a begginer and sounds great when played the song's chords.
