-----NOTES-----
General:
- Chords will not transpose properly. Sharps and flats were mixed to preserve interval relations.
If you have trouble with a specific chord, please leave a comment or PM! Thank you.
- Best to fingerpick, at least until the drums kick in.
Intro:
- dim7 is like a dominant chord
- F#dim7 functions like D7-9 resolving to G
- Bdim7 functions like G7-9 resolving to C
Verses:
- To know: pedal notes. Not notated, however present
- Dm7-5 and Ddim7 are different by one note (C vs Cb = B)
- Ddim7 into C functions as a Bdim7, which in turn functions as a G7-9 resolving into C.
- Fm6 = Dm7-5 notewise
