Re: seahorse

Brian,

I'll try to shed a little light on term "bridge": it's really slang for
"transition" meaning a part which is inbetween two different parts, that's
why Plant is "looking for the bridge" - to escape the monotony of the same
riff. (By the way, a lot of people don't know that the word "riff' comes
originally from the word "refrain".) However, the term "bridge" usually gets
thrown around by pop musicians (rock/country/etc) to mean a part which isn't
the verse and isn't the chorus and is usually shorter regardless of whether
it is between two verses or two choruses, whatever. That's my experience.

Haven't studied the piece too much as far as naming the chords, sounds like
a lot of sus chords, 7ths and 9ths probably. If you tell me what you're
playing I'll tell you what they're called - I'm a techie that way. But
better keep it off the list so no one gets bored to tears.

Pauli
