Misriat Band - Another Brick in the wall.
I came accross this on Youtube - a really haunting cover ...OK they'll never be Pink Floyd but I liked it...it's different.
It's normally in "D" Minor ...but they seem to be playing it somewhere near "D" Minor sharp ????
Have a listen ....see if you like it ?

Not really such a thing as a D minor sharp, I can play along in d minor and it's fine, the Dm, G, F and C chords are still there, I think it's the scale used over the chords, maybe Phrygian?? try #4th, b6th, I'm no expert.

I'm an Ex-Guitar Shop owner (famous shop) now retired ...and still build guitars - so have very accurate
Tuners etc ...and the tuning (or out of tune) is just over "D" ???
Or maybe it's some sort of arabic instrument tuning (?) ...anyway intresting cover !

You'd know better than me, my musical ear is terrible, I normally tune my guitars slightly sharp anyway so that's probably why it sounds ok. The actual guitar solo sounds like a normal scale.

The whole lot is tuned ever so slightly higher...as you say chords are quite simple (Dm,G,F and C etc)based around the Dm Pentatonic scale - but to give them credit ...I quite liked it.
Anyway ....thanks for your interest - it's always good to chat to another musician !
