Q: why the IVm on i love you (on the "its true") sounds so nice? can you please give me some input about it? usually IVm sounds a bit corny or out of place but i think that that voicing/instrumentation worked really well. any thoughts on it?
A: it's not quite a 4m, check where the bass is. but it is in the same family. really what we're talking about is the special note, and there are many ways to use it. such as 4minor, 5dom7b9, 3dom7, etc. but really the important player here is that special note. it's nice to learn how to use that note when the melody is in the 1,2,3,4 area
