Chords Review Request - Korean Ballad (전람회 - 취중진담)

[JayFreddy]

Trying to transcribe some chords for a student of mine. I think I've pretty much got 'em, but one of you guys might hear something I've missed.

BTW, Don't bother if you don't like sappy power ballads... Personally I like 'em...

It's kind of a cool chord progression, fun to jam over with D major pentatonic.

Whose afraid of a lil' KPop?!

I've made a few corrections on my own, it's embarrassing how many things I could hear today that I missed yesterday.

I had all the parts, but I missed a cadence that ends on the A instead of the Gm6/Bb, which I have now labelled as V3.

Also, I've taken out a couple of chords. I wasn't listening closely enough the first time!

Anyway, some interesting harmony here. I like the Gm6/Bb working as a sub for A7b9 going back to D major. Or at least that's what it sounds like to me...

Sorry JFred. I just haven't gotten around to listening yet. I'll have a go at it today. I ain't afraid of no Kpop. 전람회 - 취중진담

[JayFreddy]

Btw, works as a kind of Bm blues.

[Leon Grizzard]

Sounds right to me; I don't pick up on the bass notes that well, except for the "Michelle" chords on the bridge. I had fun playing it and over it. Good job; I'd have never gotten it all.

[JayFreddy]

Thank you Leon! Did you use your fiddle or your guitar to play over this? Some ol' timey fiddle is probably exactly what this tune needs!

BTW, Your comment about the bass motion was helpful too. Since you mentioned it, I'm pretty sure the 1st F#7 is in 2nd inversion, i.e., F#7/C#.

Reading Larry's comments in the oddball chord thread makes me wonder about that Gm6/Bb. It could also be called Em7b5/Bb. Since Gm6 is a lil' shorter in terms of space, I'm going to stick with that... For now!

Incorporating all the changes so far:

ps. I know it's a longshot, but does anyone know the name of the painter who did those paintings in the video? Even my Korean student doesn't know!

Just an FYI, but I found out the name of the artist... It's Park Hang Ryul. I like him.



There's more of his stuff here:
