Leon, thanks for the chuckles. I couldn't agree more...neither a borrower nor a lender be! LOL But...then again, in the chord change sequence that the OP posed, that G chord structures the sequence in such a way that it demands the change that comes.....it bears interest???? lol
I too see the G as 'outside' the diatonic structure. IT is temporary, therefore I don't see it as a modulation.
I have heard that Carl PErkins was told that the chord change in 'HOney Don't'....E, C, E, C.... was improper and wouldn't/couldn't be 'accepted'. Lo and behold, it works and is highly accepetable....it is 'outside' in a good way musically.
