Hey, that was a good idea,.....playing the song, rather than "blind analysis" !

well yeah and no, hehehe... the way you play these chords are probly completely different from how i play em (wish i could hear your play)

here's how i play(ed) it (poor quality MP3 recorder, but it does the job ): sample.mp3

i do understand now why you tread my F# as a D tho (Dmaj7/F#), coz D G A (B) as I IV V VI makes sense

the second part i see as C D Em (IV V vi of G)... probly coz im not very good with dim chords (yet) so i tried to avoid the C#dim and rather used a C

The new section you posted I, honestly had a hard time defining. These voicings seem very open and don't dictate a specific function. Having said that, I hear very little difference between the 4th chord of your first section and the 1st chord of your second section. - that means I want to put them both in the G major camp.

hmmm, so maybe thats why i ended up with a C after the B, coz the B kinda leads the D major progression to the G major progression of the 2nd part

From what I know, (somewhat limited) I would encourage you to avoid names like "sus#4" and "D349". The last example, in particular is used to define specific inversions of a chord, (letter name, followed by intervals) and this could be confusing to someone reading a chart.

i just made up these names, just coz im a bit, errr wuts that word again, recalcitrant ... i kinda like to do things my way ;D

tnx for your feedback


edit: its rather easy to record stuff with your PC, just buy a small PC mic (or headset), plug it into your soundcard/mobo, get cooledit (send me PM ) and start recording

If you want to go back to F#, then you need to go to C#7 or E#dim7.


Or...

From the bottom up.. G, D, B, E#. G and E# resolve out to F#, D resolves to C# and B to A#.

E# ?? aint that an F, or did you mean Eb ??

C#7 to F# sounds good, but doesnt sound too well with the F# im playing (Dmaj7/F#)
