Mansion on the Hill
Well, I saw an old man walking in my place And he looked at me, it could have been my face His words were kind but his eyes were wild He said: I got load to love, but I want one more child.
There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air Peace and love live there still In that mansion on the hill.
Around the next bend, take the highway to the sun Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one I was in hurry but that don't matter now 'Cause I have to get off that road of tears somehow.
There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air Peace and love live there still In that mansion on the hill.

"My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)"
My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay It's better to burn out Than to fade away My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue and into the black They give you this, but you pay for that And once you're gone, you can never come back When you're out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten This is the story of a Johnny Rotten It's better to burn out than it is to rust The king is gone but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my Rock and roll can never die There's more to the picture Than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my.
"Powderfinger"
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail I think you'd better call John, 'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't come to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun And it's makin' big waves.
Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou So the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin' And I just turned twenty-two I was wonderin' what to do And the closer they got, The more those feelings grew.
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin' He told me, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin' But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin' Raised my rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why. Then I saw black, And my face splashed in the sky.
Shelter me from the powder and the finger Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger Think of me as one you'd never figured Would fade away so young With so much left undone Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her.

"Ambulance Blues"
Back in the old folky days The air was magic when we played. The riverboat was rockin' in the rain Midnight was the time for the raid.
Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela, They tore you down and plowed you under. You're only real with your make-up on How could I see you and stay too long?
All along the Navajo Trail, Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails. Waitresses are cryin' in the rain Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
Oh, Mother Goose, she's on the skids Shoe ain't happy, neither are the kids. She needs someone that she can scream at And I'm such a heel for makin' her feel so bad.
I guess I'll call it sickness gone It's hard to say the meaning of this song. An ambulance can only go so fast It's easy to get buried in the past When you try to make a good thing last.
I saw today in the entertainment section There's room at the top for private detection. To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter, But it's either that or pay off the kidnapper.
So all you critics sit alone You're no better than me for what you've shown. With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams We could get together for some scenes.
I never knew a man could tell so many lies He had a different story for every set of eyes. How can he remember who he's talkin' to? 'Cause I know it ain't me, and I hope it isn't you.
Well, I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive, And out on the corner it's half past five. But the subways are empty And so are the cafes.
Except for the Farmer's Market And I still can hear him say: You're all just pissin' in the wind You don't know it but you are.
And there ain't nothin' like a friend Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind.
I never knew a man could tell so many lies He had a different story for every set of eyes How can he remember who he's talking to? Cause I know it ain't me, and hope it isn't you.

"Needle And The Damage Done"
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk-blood to keep from running out.
I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun.
"A Man Needs A Maid"
My life is changing in so many ways I don't know who to trust anymore There's a shadow running thru my days Like a beggar going from door to door.
I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid Find a place nearby for her to stay. Just someone to keep my house clean, Fix my meals and go away.
A maid. A man needs a maid. A maid.
It's hard to make that change When life and love turns strange. And old.
To give a love, you gotta live a love. To live a love, you gotta be "part of" When will I see you again?
A while ago somewhere I don't know when I was watching a movie with a friend. I fell in love with the actress. She was playing a part that I could understand.
A maid. A man needs a maid. A maid.
When will I see you again?

After the Gold Rush
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming Sayin' something about a queen There were peasants singin' and drummers drumming And the archer split the tree There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun That floated on the breeze Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies
I was lyin' in a burned out basement With a full moon in my eyes I was hopin' for a replacement When the sun burst through the skies There was a band playin' in my head And I felt like getting high Thinkin' about what a friend had said, I was hopin' it was a lie Thinkin' about what a friend had said, I was hopin' it was a lie
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying In the yellow haze of the sun There were children crying and colors flying All around the chosen ones All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun Flyin' mother nature's silver seed To a new home in the sun Flyin' mother nature's silver seed To a new home in the sun

Réplica de la pedalera Whizzer
A device created specifically for Young, which physically changes the amplifier's settings to pre-set combinations. This device is connected to footswitches operable by Young onstage in the manner of an effects pedal.
Young uses a custom-made amp-control switching device known simply as “the Whizzer.” Consisting of two parts, the foot controller and the mechanical automated switching device that physically turns the amps knobs, the Whizzer allows Young to stomp a footswitch on the floor to command the unit to twist the Deluxe’s volume and tone controls to any of a number of carefully determined preset positions. As such, and rather incredibly—if you’re familiar with the Neil Young overdrive sound—he uses no booster, overdrive, or distortion pedals to achieve his unhinged tone; just the little 50-year-old tweed Deluxe, and the Whizzer.
- DGCFAD . . . aka, "Dropped Standard" Like standard tuning (EADGBE), but with each string tuned down a tone/step.
- DGCFAA Like "Dropped Standard" (DGCFAD above) but with 1st string tuned to the 2nd.
- DADGBE . . . aka, "Dropped D" Standard tuning (EADGBE) except 6th string is tuned down a tone/step.

Note: Neil has referred to DADGBD as "D Modal" in interviews, though that term is non-standard for this tuning. However many people have subsequently picked up the term, and know this tuning by that name.
- CGCFAD Combination of "Dropped Standard" (DGCFAD) and "Dropped D" (DADGBE). All strings are tuned down a tone, then the 6th is tuned down another tone.

I AM A BELIEVER Neil Diamond
I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got. What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.
Take the last train to Clarksville, And I'll meet you at the station. You can be be there by four thirty, 'Cause I made your reservation. Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no!
'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning And I must see you again We'll have one more night together 'Til the morning brings my train. And I must go, oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no! And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.
Take the last train to Clarksville. I'll be waiting at the station. We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses And a bit of conversation. Oh... Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no!
Take the last train to Clarksville, Now I must hang up the phone. I can't hear you in this noisy Railroad station all alone. I'm feelin' low. Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no! And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.
Take the last train to Clarksville, Take the last train to Clarksville, [repeat and fade]

No Love Is Sorrow (Jansch, Renbourn, Thompson, Cox, McShee) – 2:41
just like the songbird deep in the forest i sing praises but you never hear
deep in my body my song is silent yet content at times when you're near
please listen to me and i will tell thee all those words that have never been said
they shout inside of me but then the coward behind a weak man starts ruling my head
i never a loved thee and not one other will know sweetness that lies in my breast
'tis you that made me but have abided me to uncover my heart to the stars
no love is sorrow but now i'm happy to have thee in this world for my love
and now you must know my soul is for thee that's why this life is my sorry love

LAS CLAVES
'I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice'. Hendrix, 1966
1. Confianza y conocimiento del instrumento: Durante largos años, fue un desconocido guitarrista de estudio y de directo. Aprendió de grandes estrellas del universo musical de los cincuenta y sesenta.
2. En directo, no sólo tocar es el espectáculo: provoca a la audiencia, quema el instrumento, lo toca puesto en la espalda o engaña al público representando que toca con los dientes.
3. No se limita en las escalas clásicas: toma la novena aumentada, la novena mayor y las sextas de los artistas de jazz y las mezcla con la escala de blues pentatónica.
4. Nunca utiliza el dedo índice para poner la cejilla: prefiere utilizar el dedo pulgar por encima de la cuerda, lo que permite hacer los bajos con éste y jugar con cuerdas al aire.
5. Nunca rasgea un acorde: siempre toca las notas, evitando la tercera del acorde para dar ambigüedad al modo.
6. Mezcla ritmo y melodía al mismo tiempo: adorna los acordes con ligados ascendentes (hammer on) y descendentes (pull-off). Impresionante conjunción de la voz con la ejecución guitarrística. Gran control de la respiración.
7. La nota tiene que vibrar: la barra de vibrato de la Stratocaster y los ajustes de volúmen y pastillas le quedaban en la parte superior de la guitarra (al ser zurdo y utilizar una guitarra de diestro dada la vuelta y con las cuerdas cambiadas) y jugaba con ellos sin descanso.
8. Expresividad salvaje: a través del estiramiento de la cuerda hacia arriba, generalmente con el tercer dedo de la mano (bends). Podía hacerlos sobre una cuerda o sobre varias al mismo tiempo. Otros recursos que utilizaba son los armónicos naturales o los trinos (ligados con cuerdas al aire).
9. Juego e investigación de los efectos de las últimas innovaciones tecnológicas de la época: pedales de distorsión (Fuzz Face), de wah-wah (Cry Baby) o modulación (Octavia).
10. Maestro de la fusión y el uso de influencias opuestas: podía hacer una entrada como John Lee Hocker, a continuación añadir un acorde de Folk y después entrar con una escala de Jazz.
11. Nunca se repetía en directo: un auténtico improvisador, libre sobre una ola de feedback. Nunca tenía que recordar las notas porque siempre las cambiaba sobre la marcha.
12. Diversión: Jimi buscaba pasárselo bien por encima de todo. Como todo en él, un exceso.
CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC Jimi Hendrix
You jump in front of my car when you, You know all the time that Ninety miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive You tell me it's alright, you don't mind a little pain You say you just want me to take you for a ride
You're just like crosstown traffic So hard to get through to you Crosstown traffic I don't need to run over you Crosstown traffic All you do is slow me down And I'm tryin' to get on the other side of town
I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run Tire tracks all across your back I can see you had your fun But darlin' can't you see my signals turn from green to red And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead
You're just like crosstown traffic So hard to get through to you Crosstown traffic I don't need to run over you Crosstown traffic All you do is slow me down And I got better things on the other side of town
Bob Dylan Robert Allen Zimmerman 1941, Duluth, Minesota
SUS JOYAS:
The Freewheelin’ 1963 El segundo trabajo de Dylan le catapultó como compositor y letrista. Temas como ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’, ‘Masters of Wars’ o ‘A Hard Rain´s A-Gonna Fall’ provocaron un seísmo cultural en todo el mundo.
Another Side of Bob Dylan 1964 Una de sus mejores grabaciones folk.
Bringing It All Back Home 1965 Reescribiendo las reglas del rock.
Highway 61 Revised 1965 Llegó el Rock and Roll salvaje, Like a Rolling Stone.
Blonde on Blonde 1966 Blues, country, folk y rock con estilo, denso y profundo. Culminación del periodo dedicado al Rock and Roll.
John Wesley Harding 1967 Vuelta al country calmado. Emblema del country rock.
Nashville Skyline 1969 Un clásico de country rock. Un bombazo en la escena pop.
Blood on the Tracks 1975 Regreso al pasado acústico y tranquilo. Bueno entre los buenos.
The Basement Tapes 1975 Superbanda en el estudio, The Band. Americana. Grande.
EL PEOR DISCO
Dylan 1973 9 versiones que habían quedado fuera de otros trabajos. No lo quería ni él.
