And now for something a little different...

I have always really liked this song by Major Harris, Love Won't Let Me Wait. This is a great romantic soul song, with great melody, chords and smooth singing. It also has some, ah-hem! err...very, very nice "sound effects" at the end of the song!

Anyway-I was just trying to play along with the song one day, and found it not too difficult to "get" the chords to the song. The chord changes are real smooth, melodic, and mimic the vocal lines somewhat. Here is my version. It's based mostly on what I hear, and maybe a tiny bit of looking for the song's chord charts online, so as always, what I'm playing isn't definitive (there's another guy on YT who does this song with way different chords). Hope you like it. I love this f*&%#'n song! (Uhhm-that could be taken literally!)
* Geez! After listening to this I realized the sound and video quality are poor on this one! I need more modern equipment!



Here's the player for the song so you can check it out!

Foreigner-Cold As Ice-rhythm guitar-main verse/Solo

Here is the main rhythm guitar part (at least what can be played guitar-wise for the song) for Foreigner's Cold As Ice. I am playing it in the key of Eb minor. I am playing a Eb7sus4 to Ebmin, then going to Eb7sus4 transitioning to B, and then B6 to B. I am playing it slightly different from my earlier post, but not much more than having the Eb7sus4 being the transition to the B6 rather than just going from Eb7sus4 to Ebmin; B6 to B. Here is a link back to the older post I had for this song. Foreigner's Cold as Ice -main rhythm part and solo...
It's probably not the exact chords, but I think it sounds good enough.



Here is my version of the solo to this song. I always liked (and still do) Mick Jones' playing! He has great tone, and a great sense of melody! This has always been one of my favorite guitar solos! Hope you like my version. There's another guy who does a slowed down version of this solo Cold as Ice solo slowed down and it's much better than mine. If you like this version, let me know.
