Salut les copains, I finally got to hear the Black Session... I almost cried to dog on wheels, gosh, that song is really great. I was trying to find the chords to "The boy with the arab strap" the other day. We all agree, only three chords (beautiful ones), G, C and D (sometimes, just when it's necessary). Except not at all. The trick is to play a C with the major seventh. Try it, you'll see. I really felt like I had almost uncovered one of the secret ways to write a B&S song! This also works for Judy & the dream of horses: first start with AM7, DM7 and then, when the trumpet joins, play A and D. I think the transition between Major seventh and simple Major chord is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. This simply gives a sort of joy, of dynamism that I like. cheers. julien PS: Philippe! moi aussi je veux ta photo. :) --- http://www.hip.atr.co.jp/~xbudynek/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
