Q: Hi Bill! I'm learning piano, and I really love that funky synth sound. But sometimes I have hard time figuring out certain chords I hear (maybe cause the notes of a chord played on a synth blend together more than a piano chord?)... But I was wondering if you can help me out with this. In this song, could you tell me the voicing for the chord that plays around the 1:44 right after 'just can't wait no more'?
A: that's a closed Bmin7 voicing, but it might likely have been played as Amin7 and bent up, depending on whether the player prefers to pull down the bender first and bend up to the chord, or play the chord first lower and then raise the bender. so you could play G,A,C,E, and bend it up, or pull back the bender first and play A,B,D,F# and then bend it back to center. also important to mention that this tape is also running just a hair sharp
