In episode 140 of the guitar music theory podcast I have another installment of how does this song work

featuring the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot it. Greetings guitar engineers. Welcome to the guitar music theory

podcast. I am your host Desi Cerna and today I have another installment of how does this song work

featuring the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. So this song

makes use of a capo, suss-2 chords, alternate bass notes, mix the

in mode, plus some half-step and whole-step vents. In addition to

discussing it here in my audio-homing podcast. I also made a video lesson that you can find

on my social media profiles. Just search for Desi Cerna Guitar on Facebook, YouTube,

Instagram, and Tik-Toc.

Or you might just search Edmund Fitzgerald,

plus my name Desi Cerna, on any one of those platforms,

and the videos should come up.

In the video, I provide some tablature and chord diagrams and I show you the basic acoustic

guitar chords and parts and I walk you through the lead guitar parts as well.

But here in the podcast I'm going to do that and I'm going to talk about the music theory and how the song is

proposed and the key and the chords and the scales and all that good stuff. But before we dive in,

what do you specifically need to be working on right now in order to become a better guitar player?
