Deep Purple - Never Before chords
Start Jamming...
The great thing about Machine Head, what we did was pretty much everything we recorded had been worked on before
Except strangely enough
Smoke on the Water, but but we had a lot of really good ideas, which we'd worked up in the rehearsal studio
and never before
Came up
As a potential, we thought well this sounds like it could be a [E] single if they're going to [N] ask us for a single
Again, which we don't of course they were
Then this would surely be the one and I think that's why we continue to work on it
I think it's a terrific song and it has a very I think
Wonderful middle eight.
I love that half tempo
Section in the middle.
That's to me one of the best pieces about it
The Purple with the motto
Also for our progressive music fans, Disco always has something ready
