MIDLAKE es una banda de pop-rock americana, de Denton, Texas. Fue formada en 1999 por un grupo de estudiantes de jazz de la "University of North Texas".
Sus primeros trabajos estaban muy ligados al funk y el jazz. Con el tiempo la banda se fue acercando más hacia el pop, muy influenciados por bandas como Radiohead, Travis o Grandaddy. Lograron popularidad en Europa tras fichar con "Bella Union Record" y tocando en festivales como "Les Inrockuptibles" o "Wintercase".
¡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!
Verse: note, in the first 16 bars or so the guitar sounds to me like it is sliding up and down inversions of the chords, so if you want, do that, for simplicity i am just listing the chords used, not specific inversions or shapes.
Tried to make this intuitive, the #1's represent the first beat of each bar lined up with the according lyric w/ the chords above.
