Woody Woodpecker is a 6th chord

[Bill McCloskey]

Last night I was jamming with friends and during a break I was just noodling. One of the other musicians said: oh, you are playing the woody wood pecker song. I said, I am?

Then realized, arpeggiating a 6th chord is the woody wood pecker theme.

We then jammed on the woody wood pecker theme.

ah ah ah Aaaah ah.

Kind of like how the melody to
All of Me
Take me out to the Ball game
Don’t get around much anymore

And many others are a simple Major scale. Gotta love the easy ones to pick out by ear.

There was some very hip music "wasted" in places like this... "Pink Panther" remains a touchstone. Some of the very earliest television advertisements had great tunes too, then it somehow got... commercialized? IYKWIM...

Last year (in another of my recent adult-onset hobbies) I was out in the woods in the usually-futile wait up in the tree for a freezer full of venison to stroll past...noticed a bird that does this perfect 5-4-3...5-4-3 call. Instantly called to mind the first couple lines of Stevie Wonder's Misstra Know-it-all, from Innervisions. I can't unhear it now....if he'd have followed it up with the second part of the verse melody (something like 5-4-3-3-3-4-5-b6-2-3-2) I'd have fallen out of the tree!

The woods are a noisy place...sometimes musical. (Mostly noisy...looking at you, squirrels...)

Picking exercise on the top three strings.

Speaking of early TV. The Perry Mason theme is a great piece of music too.

I lived in the country and awoke to the neighbors chickens most every morning. My roommate's boyfriend referred to them as the "Get Smart Chickens." I asked him why and he told me to just listen to them.

When they crowed they went:

Brack-a-braaaack (long pause) BRACK!

Now think of the Get Smart theme.
