Best Artists/Tracks at Chord Changing

I was an early fan of The Heartbreakers,the hit ,Breakdown was big with us kids
in Ocala ,which is right down the road from Gainsville,Fl. where Tom was
raised,and where Elvis filmed a movie that Toms uncle worked on the set,Tom
got to watch, and or meet Elvis .But I had not heard of Mudcrutch at the time.We
used to go to G,ville a lot to party and shop at Thouroghbreds,which later
became Sam Ash,a big music store chain.One of the only stores around back
then where you could plug into a Marshall stack with a Strat or Paul.One of his
first guitar teachers was Don Felder. I think they are very good .

My favorite chord changes are mostly lean towards Steely Dan.
Green Book, Peg, Josie, Haitian Divorce, Deacon Blues
Much more sophisticated if study what Alan Holdsworth does, but be aware not to go mad. Many jazz folks would say that he's out of real human possibilities.

Petty often favors those ringing open major key chords. There are lots of others who bark up that tree, but rather than listing them here (one LONG list), I'd suggest that you might check out Pandora. Create a "Tom Petty" channel and Pandora will seek out similar music. It's far from perfect, but the odds are pretty good that you'll find a lot of what you're after.

BTW, Petty's songwriting is so archetypal in so many ways that I always joke to my wife (a huge Petty fan and a huge Pandora fan) that - no matter who you enter in Pandora - it will eventually end up back at Tom Petty.
