The Zombies – This Will Be Our Year (Tab) I owe all y’all an apology. And not just for using the term, “all y’all.” I thought I had posted this tab months ago until someone let me know I hadn’t. The Zombies’ Odessey & Oracle (which this song comes from) seems to be criminally overlooked. […]

As much as I’m a fan of dreary and depressing music, I like pop music to be at least a little joyful. And K-pop has been injecting some much needed fun into pop music recently. And I’m a fan of the way they tend to cram as many styles of music into a single song […]
Queen – Somebody to Love (Chords) It’s been very gratifying to see the revival of interest in Queen the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic has produced.
