Need help with the original changes

I got it.

Satin Doll, Bar 5, it's Cmin9, then a D7. Both chords are played against a D bass. So,

X-X-(8)-8-8-10
then
X-X-(7)-7-7-8
then
X-X-(7)-7-7-10

Notes in brackets are optional.

The Cmin9 against a D bass is wonderfully complex.

I do:
x x 10 11 10 10
x x 7 8 8 8
x x 7 8 8 10

(x x 4 4 4 6
x x 3 4 4 4
x x 3 4 4 6
x 3 5 4 5 3)

It think it's just an Am7b5, the root is dispensible in m7b5 chords.

yah kinda similar to Cmin9

I do:
x x 10 11 10 10
x x 7 8 8 8
x x 7 8 8 10

Yup, that first one, x-x-10-11-10-10, was one of the first things I tried, but to my ears, it doesn't have that crunch I mentioned earlier.

I feel like there's a semitone rub somewhere: so either a

- major 7th (or minor 9th) interval on guitar
- a minor 2nd interval in the recording

For that reason, I felt that x-x-x-8-8-10 is a bit more appropriate against the D bass.

x x 4 4 4 6
x x 3 4 4 4
x x 3 4 4 6
x 3 5 4 5 3

Yah, I do almost the same thing. I use a 6/9 chord instead of a maj7 at the end.

x-x-4-4-4-6
x-x-3-4-4-4
x-x-3-4-4-6
x-x-2-2-3-3

Can't really hear the chord clearly in the recording though.

Yes, we all have different ears!!
I find your X X (7) 7 7 10 a bit 'brangy', sort of the cowboy G major voicing. Sorry.

[brent.h]

haha brangy!

I didn't listen to it before but the bass is alternating between D & A, so it is going from Am7 to D7, I'm not hearing a b5 (Eb).

Simplest way to play it would be something like:

Am11 | x-12-x-12-13-10 | > D7 | x-x-12-11-13-10 |

Or maybe: | x-12-x-12-13-10 | > D7b5 | x-11-x-11-13-10 | > Db13 | 9-x-9-10-11-x |

You can hold the chords while playing the melody notes of D (10th fret on 6 string) & C (13th fret on 5th string).
