Chord progressions are fascinating, did you know?
I picked up an album from ELO the other day, and there was a song I'd never heard, but I was immediately caught by the notes, and so I tried to play them in my head...I knew it was a jump up of a perfect fourth, and then descending step-wise...except that there were four chords and they played five, and I couldn't figure out what was happening...until I realized the second to last was a seven chord, and then all was right with the world...
Though I'm sure Sam thought I was crazy, sitting next to her, playing keys that weren't there, speaking Greek for all she knew...
But it certainly made my day better.
Wish everything was that simple...
