Hold On Chords

340 views, added to favorites 8 times
Interesting 80’s prog-pop rock. Please follow the record to understand the pace of these changes as there are many passing chords and nuances. Solo plays as last half of verse 1. Interludes are each unique and represent a challenge rhythmically at times. Bridge plays as an altered verse. Outro plays as refrain repeating to fade over a guitar solo.Was this info helpful?
