Mazzy Star – Fade Into You

Fade Into You was a top 5 single for the California based band Mazzy Star in 1994, and has a very eerie and meloncholy feel between all of the reverb from the amps, and the slide guitar that brings a haunting melody, this is the launching pad for the mellow singing of Hope Sandoval.

The chord pattern is very simple, and is another great song for a beginning guitarist. If you are a singer, then this would be a great match between an acoustic guitar and a vocalist.

Once again it is proven over and over in the popular music genre, all you need is a simple riff and the right amount of fill in instruments to complete the sound to have a hit song. Of cource having a singer that can write lyrics that match the melody, and being able to stay in key is important, but when you sing from the heart and feel the emotion that the music expresses, it can make you a popular artist.

Most of the chords from Fade Into You are played over and over, and once you get the rhythym of A – E – B minor progression, it becomes easy to stay in the pocket of the timing. There also is a D chord that is put in as a type of bridge to let you know when to start the verse all over again.

The slide is playing along in the with chords in the same key, and you can just barre your finger to play along with out the slide to get a feel for the timing of the notes the slide is playing.
