OT: Chord help

[Cygnus64]

I can't figure out two chords, or what I'm doing wrong. Start at 2:42, B flat root. What happens at 2:48 with those two chords?? I'm confused.

Sounds like it's goin' Bbm7.....Bbm7/ Ab....Gm7b5....F#m9.....B13....Fm7 or something close.

linwood, that's what I'm hearing too...

[Cygnus64]

Thanks guys, now I gotta transpose it to Ab. I think this version is Db?

[Cygnus64]

Got it, thanks again.

 

SOmetimes when I use synths, its hard to hear when I use a patch like string synth. With a piano patch it's much easier.

I hear it as 6-......1/5........4#1/2dim........4-split7b13 (We say 7flat around here as opposed to flat7. I never called a tune in FlatB either )

It is in C#... which makes Linwood basically correct (I don't hear a Bb in the 2nd change so I'd call it C#/Ab).

Numbers make transposing a breeze. What's your new key?

THe song plays halleluja chords as half jazz inversions most the time, i.e. c# major key goes between c#(major triad) trough c#maj7 (major 7th) to maj7 with added 9th and sometimes added 11th (from the major B chord, and at times a heavier variation the B7), and alternates the standard I, I7, V with the also standard I, Iaug, V sequence, whereas the VI is regularly played (also standard hallelujah type of alteration I think) as F#/Ab (the V with the rootnote of VI in the bass) , and appears also to add a transgression "pre" F (major third, not sharp) before the Vth which comes with a 3 in the bass, i.e. a f#/Bb, and that is interchanged with c#maj7/c and c#7/B. at 48 the V comes back standard to I via V, Vmin, Vmin7, V+6.

 

nice music.

The new key is Ab.

 

Here's a clip from the medley, this song starts a few seconds in. I still don't think I have I have it right. I'm close but no cigar:
