Today I was in the last two segment/lesson from the Badfinger one and it was for me the first time i transposed with chord numbers ''cos I fond it interesting to do ,I was right on all the chords so I proberly understand how to do it,,,what I not understand (and i was wrong on that chord (F# in D ) is what you call 5 of 6 and must be in G an B7,,,hope I get that down as well...neverfoundthetime wrote:You guys are definitely on the right track here. I believe I mentioned in the lesson that the 7ths on the 2 minor chords are pretty subtle and in the background, following the Badfinger version. Nilsson's was, of course primarily piano with an opening possibly 'borrowed' from Burt Bacharach's Close To You, as done by the Carpenters in 1970.No, your post made sense and I'm comfortable with transposing in my head (just give me enough time ). Some 7s seemed to get lost in translation though when it moves between versions and keys. On Neil's sheet its written in D (Capoed up 4 frets to effectively F#) and it goes D / F#m7 / Em7 / F# /... so that should translate to C / Em7 /Dm7 / E. But it sounds better when the 7s are not used in the version we are both talking about.Chris - I'm not sure if my post added to or subtracted from your confusion, but I hope that it was the latter. It does seem counterintuitive to change from C to Em, especially when the dominant melody note seems to be an A. It would be interesting to hear what the theory is behind this.

In the key of C, the D7 chord is accurate as far as Nilsson's version goes, although it would be done with F# in the bass at first, following a descending line from Am, then with G in the bass.
Maybe I'll address this on today's News...

I fond the lesson very fun too..
