I'm happy with my S3. Solid option for 73 weighted keys, and used ones tend to be good value relative to Yamaha, Korg, etc competitors

This matches my experience and most user reviews I've heard/read -- 3300 is plenty loud and spins the organ around the room just fine... but lacks the familiar tube warmth of favorite vintage Leslie models (122, 147).

THIS is the hack I sought!

when you're Herbie playing Rhodes on the beach, only an 88 key will do.

Good point. I'm comfortable calling a Dom 7 a 1 chord (Mustang Sally is first song that comes to mind). In this case, I'm seduced by convenience of thinking about A section and B section as relative major/minor of each other.

Ha! For my purposes -- i.e., quickly learning the tune for a one-off gig -- I've decided to stick with my first instinct and think about it as below. Not suggesting it is a satisfying theoretical explanation but I do like its relative simplicity A section: Key of Em (i - IV) B section: (Relative Major) Key of G (IV - iii - bVII - I - V#9 - bVIdim)

I was searching for a memorization hack for the B section. I did enough web research before posting this thread to realize smart musicians reasonably disagree on the theoretical explanations underpinning what's going on in that part of the tune.

I appreciate this analysis. I tried my hand at it too (see second post, above). However, my original post is proving to be wishful thinking. The B section of this song is creatively unusual -- not conducive for my brain to "chunk" into popular music conventions. Just gonna have to use my brainpower to memorize the entire sequence. No big deal. Great tune. Worth the effort.

This goes against all my musical instincts but I'm going to take this as a growth opportunity and lean into this advice.

My best shot thus far is thinking in G major: IV - iii - weird bVII - I - V (resolving to relative minor E chord)

I'm learning Breathe for an upcoming gig. The internet has lots of opinions as to what key(s) it's in. I welcome opinions on that but am primarily interested in advice/tricks to make sense of the chords in the chorus(?) section so I'm not just memorizing a series of unrelated chords. Basically, verse is ||: Em9 - A7 :|| and chorus is CM7 Bm7 FM7 G D7#9 D7b9 (or last chord maybe D#dim) I know we have several fine Pink Floyd players on the forum. How do you guys think about/remember this progression?
