Dreadlock Holiday Chords

Learn how to play Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc!

The first section of 'Dreadlock Holiday' could be seen as if played in Aeolian since the main chord used is the VI chord.

Notice how the I chord is held back until 1:45 where we enter a half time feel over this harmonic release.
As we pick the tempo back up again we are back to the sad, struggling feel of Aeolian, which goes well with the mugging theme of verse 2.

Key Changes in One Guitar Arrangements

At 3:35 we hurry back to the swimming pool and move up a semitone to sink some Pina Colada. Assistance might be needed for the capo change.
Should you not have an assistant at hand, try the 'Glider Capo'.

Dealing with key changes a semitone up is always gonna be awkward for a guitarist, the 'Glider Capo' might be the only real practical solution to this problem.

Should you not have one at hand, staying in the same key might be what you have to end up doing.
