6/22/2023 0 Comments Pinball wizard chordsi would be walking around my school grounds singing the who version of it and random people would come up to me and say "haha, he likes Mcfly" wich realy gets on my nerves, i think that Mcfly give pinball wizard a bad reputation. Pete from Gatwick, EnglandMcfly have released a cover version of pinball wizard, I downloaded it to compare to the who version and i was quite dissapointed with it.Stephen from Claymont, DeElton John took thr rock n roll out oof it though.As far as Elton's version goes, while I think his version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" surpassed the Beatles' version, when it comes to "Pinball Wizard," I prefer the original. It is one of the major anthems for those of us who came of age in the 70's. But perhaps someone could offer a disagreement with me. I would think more in terms of the chord progressions in songs like "25 or 6 to 4" or "All Along the Watchtower," where a chord progression that has a melody of its own is established and then continues to be played under the melody of the song. I don't think "Pinball Wizard's" chord progression would qualify as a riff since it is just a typical chord progression that goes along with the melody of the song. A couple of good examples would be the guitar intro on the Rolling Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" and the guitar/bass combo that runs throughout Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." However, the technical definition of the term would also include a chord progression. Secondly, I think "riff" (in rock music usage) is a term usually used to refer to a recurring lead guitar part that runs under the melody of a song. The song is literally about a deaf, dumb, and blind kid becoming the best pinball player in the world.
