What are these chords

I know of course what you were thinking of but I am working on a separate dedicated thread regarding that other country ATM. The colors of Bavaria are white and blue as well BTW. The Greeks have...

The Mirabella “ Blue siren” Crossfire

Steve, Looking Good my man. I still say you and Richard Gere are related somehow.. People seek your opinion because you know your stuff. You are an excellent player, who plays it right. You are on...

The Mirabella “ Blue siren” Crossfire

Not at all, you just don't get it :-) Yes, it's the same inverted chord if you like, but the actual chord at that point in their discussion was Bbo. Different bass, different sound, different...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

Oh ragman. You’re talking yourself in circles, cat. Bbdim is a Dbdim (same notes … we don’t say C/E isn’t an C because there’s an E in the bass) and that makes it …. Drumroll … the swing...

The Mirabella “ Blue siren” Crossfire

It's a very simple song, you know, and 'improving' it by making it hideously complicated like that pdf version may not improve it at all. Ella's version starts in G: GM7 - % - B7 - % E7 - %...

Question about All of Me / Ella Fitzgerald version

This isn’t a dilemma. We went over this about a dozen times, as did Bernstein in the video you posted claiming he was confused about it. He didn’t say “better” … he said “nice.”

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

It strikes me that here too a simple "Jealous much?" would be a perfect way to shrug off most remarks. I have been on the receiving end of bullying in esp. my first year in 2ndary school,...

Rediscovering my lost passion for guitar

You don't really need to copy that version precisely. If the singer wants to strut her stuff, okay, but all you need to do is move up a half-step and repeat with the ending. No one will know or care,...
