what's the progression and what key is it in?

[MyMagician]

@TheIrishvid The progression is best described as "unprincipled" and it's in the key of "?"

I've honestly no idea. I just sort of... played it.

[willeng84]

Playing out of time and out of key does not make you talented. I don't get it and never ever ever ever ever ever ever will or will give people like this and Henry Kaiser any credit. They are pure shit with 0 to be learned. Want experimental try Jimmy Herring Lifeboat serinade, Him and Greg Osby wrote they're own hybrid scales for the album and songs, harmonize and or play dead on top of each other LIVE the craziest guitar/horn leads I have heard.

@willeng84 you're aware this vid is a joke, right?

[melodicdreamer72]

I have just started to get into these guys. They were so experimental and cutting edge before all of the technology that has come around to help us musicians. Did you catch this performance on your iPhone? It's not bad...wish I could have been to the show.

[MyMagician]

@melodicdreamer72 Yes, I bought an iPhone for some reason, fed it a pile of drugs and sent it back to 1975 to record The Old Grey Whistle Test, and this is what was on it when it came back through the wormhole. Amazed nobody else found this footage before me.

If you don't get it they've already gotten to you.

@willeng84 The joke. You're missing it.

[steventherockgod]

This is hilarious! Captain Beefheart is brilliant and as an avid fan I can still appreciate the humour in this haha! I just hope your not taking the piss, he's a real musical genius!

[willeng84]

@JailhouseJody Your an idiot dick, first off I heard about it from another musician as one of his big influences. When I here things like this from someone I consider to be a credible musician I check it out, this was the first thing I heard by them and was told afterwards this song was a joke but at the time I did not know that. Simply a mistake. But Jimmy herring is not gay, nor am I. However sounds live your a little lonely and looking for a fellow man fan to chill with.

@JailhouseJody Do you always ask guys to suck your balls while calling them "gay" in the same sentence? I happen to like what I've heard of Beefheart's music, and clicked this because he interests me. I hate trolls too, but I can't find any defense for this particular song. Someone said it was a joke, and it must be because Beefheart was great (what I've heard of his; a film, one album, and some Zappa collaborations), and this sucks, regardless whose name is in the title.

[JailhouseJody]

@willeng84 first of all, its spelled SERENADE, not serinade you dumb fuck. Jimmy herring can suck my balls cause he is gayyyy like you. If you dont like captain beefheart then lemme ask you, WHY ARE YOU WATCHING HIS VIDEO YOU RETARD??? Go somewhere else because we dont want dumbasses like yourself wasting space on here with your ignorant comments. but im going to go ahead an assume that you probably have no job which is why you would watch videos you dont like right?? troll.
