Thanks! The inversions are perfect. I'd love to see you hitting the melodics over bass notes.

En español traducir

Hola Jorge, no hablo español (solo música :), pero según google...
los cambios de un acorde al siguiente son solo por semitono. dos acordes (III y iv), que no están en la tonalidad, hacen que esta progresión de acordes sea realmente interesante.
¡Confía en tu oído y disfruta de la música! (y dame dos años para aprender un poco de español :)

How was it written? They listened to the song 'The Air That I Breath', written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood and then copied the tune.

[@leepat]

thx for the reference, I did hear a similar fragment of melody and there is a reference to angels, but other than that, if they copied anything they hid it well (and made it their own…).

[@apm763]

@@leepat They got taken to court, admitted they'd ripped of the tune and now have to pay partial royalties to Hammond & Hazlewood.

[@leepat]

oh well, it wouldn’t have been my ruling but I hope everyone is happy now. I’ve heard RH got sick of the song anyway.
and the title here is misleading of course. the video is more about how the song works..
