I-missRichardTee Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I am not in front of keyboard.. the first three chords on the track. I am guessing key of Fm. I am referring to the very first three chords played at the intro. I never properly learned this.. and it is being revisited by one of the bands. Using just a computer.. and assuming Fminor. It sounds like two Ab Dom chords to a Db chord. You don't have ideas, ideas have you We see the world, not as it is, but as we are. "One mans food is another mans poison".

Bobadohshe Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Play it in F minor / Ab major. Think of the first chord as F/Ab. That's an upper structure voicing for an Ab13b9. The next chord is just an Ab13 with the Ab on top. The next chord is Dbmaj7 Kawai C-60 Grand Piano : Hammond A-100 : Hammond SK2 : Yamaha CP4 : Yamaha Montage 7 : Moog Sub 37 My latest album: Funky organ, huge horn section https://bobbycressey.bandcamp.com/album/cali-native Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-missRichardTee Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 I haven't played it yet... just listening... Did you check out the brilliant reharmonization that Bobby introduces on the video by Dugg64.. it breaks up the monotony, with some fun stuff.

Threadslayer Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 You got this! Fun tune to play. I completely agree. I used to love playing this tune. You'd think it would be boring and repetitive, but it's just such a great groove.

David Loving Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Bobby Caldwell is a great artist. I have several albums of his and listen to him on the way to gigs.

Did you check out the brilliant reharmonization that Bobby introduces on the video by Dugg64.. it breaks up the monotony, with some fun stuff. Thanks a lot Yep! I noticed that immediately. Will be adding this to the repertoire with the hip new changes. Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ferris Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm pretty certain the original key is A/F#m. A lot of guys took it down a half step to Fm because the singer couldn't hit the A on top comfortably. If I had a twenty for every time I played this song back in the day, I'd have a house up in Carmel and would be riding my bike everyday on the 17 Mile Drive. Great and classic song for sure. https://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris https://www.youtube.com/@daveferris2709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Peter Cox is one of my favorite singers. And they're touring again. Check out his twitter feed - he's been posting photos of the different venues from the stage perspective. They've got some beautiful halls over there in Britain!
