Very under-rated. At :54 seconds in, listen to the way the bass lays down the descending scale while the guitar plays the same two chords&#8230;. Brilliant. Paul Carrack is a musical virtuoso, can play about anything, and is vocal GOD. So much soul! I should have payed more attention to Paul Young, who, sadly, is no longer with us.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230;. While listening to the song, I asked myself &#8220;Hmmm, I wonder if I can play this?&#8221;. So I surfed the net and found several websites with the chords&#8230; or <em>supposedly<\/em> the chords to the song! I picked up the guitar and started trying to play the song according to the pages, but, as is the usual with so many internet chord pages, they were wrong! So I started plucking the string until I found the root and the fifth, and, after putting the capo on the first fret, I was suddenly off to the races! I&#8217;m not sure what the middle walking scale at 2:41 is yet, but I&#8217;ll figure that out soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I am a bass player, and will always be a bass player. I&#8217;m proud to be in that club. But playing \/ learning to play guitar is so much fun! It feels like a whole new world of music is opening up before my eyes!<\/p>\n<p>Here is another great Mike and the Mechanics song. LOVE the bass line!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t3tQh4pDke0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"God%20I%20Love%20Music%21%20Pt%20%201%2C452%2C322\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Yesterday I was wasting some time just surfing the net, and came across this gem from Mike and the Mechanics.
