Ferry Cross The Mersey was a big hit for Gerry And The Pacemakers in 1965. The tune features a bit of an unusual modal progression in the verse, becoming more of a standard major key for the chorus and bridge.
This lesson combines some of the backing chords and fills with the melody harmonized in parallel minor thirds, also somewhat unusual. Natural and artificial harmonics are used as well.
