Chords for "the selma march" Green grant

[INEGMAX]

Hi friends, I have just transcribed the green grand piece "the selma march" through Band in a box but I am not satisfied with the result. If any *body can helm me find the chords progression or even a tab I would be really grateful. many thanks in advance

Transcribing with band in a box is usually bad in my opinion. For the fun of it I tried, and I don't agree with most of the chords.

A quite simple tune that should be easy to transcribe. Try it by ear. The program Transcribe! may be helpful.

For some strange reason I did try after all. Try this: Transcriptions - Grant Green The Selma march - submitted by ghard

You're welcome. I'm still not sure about the chords at certain places. Check them and tell me what you think.

Hi friends, concerning the selma march transcription, don't realise the amount of measures is unusual. 28 or 29 with the anacruze.
Also don't you agree that the cords harmony is a little confusing compared to the traditional Blues harmony?

The A part (if we can call it that) is 6 measures, and repeated twice. Not common, but used at times.
The B part is a more straight 8 measure bit, and the C part is another 8 measure bit.
So yes, the A part is uncommon, but I played all sorts...

It's probably not a blues then
