Hold On Me

Prompt

If you were at a jam session playing this song, someone might say something like:

“This ones in A, starts with a guitar break and pretty much has the same progression most of the way
through. Its 8 bars (all chords 1 bar each 1 6 1 6 1 6 2 5, thats A F#m A F#m A F#m B D. In the chorus you
can throw in a C#m before the F#m. After playing a second verse and chorus we go to the bridge which is 4
bars repeated- B D F F. Then a solo over a repeated 2 bar phrase 6 1 2 (6 1 5 last time). Both sections have
clear hits.

After this the solo keeps going over the original progression followed by another verse and 2 chorus. To end
we tag the B to D, big hit on the 5, guitar break and end on A.

Something to keep in mind, chromatic passing notes sound great between most chords, this is often outlined
by other instruments-you’ll hear it”.
