Chords for French Guitar (by Romane)

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS2dLZGQGD0

I've been trying to found the chords for this song, this is what I've go so far:

Gmm, A7, G#7, Gm, G#7

then there's this thing:

Fm, F#m, Gm, G#m, Am, A#m <-- quick part, Fm, Cm, D7

the Cm doesn't convince me, it kinda sounds good but not 100%, any idea?

Another thing, any of those chords are gypsy jazz chords, I'd like a little help with that too. I hear like those are mostly natural chords and at some point the Gm turns into Gm6 though, but D7 doesn't sounds like a natural D7 but haven't been able to find the actual chord.

Thanks in advance.

Great tune, here's some more opinions on the matter.

EDIT

I think it is:

A part:

Gm / A7 / Ab7 / Gm (Ab7-D7)

B part: (walk up chromatically starting at Fm6

Bbm6 / Fm / Am7b5 / D7 /

Nice job. Voice the A7 like [3x222x], ala libertango

Did you write the chart? It looks great and I would like to know what software and fonts have been used here...

Also, any chance of getting the harmony line too? :twisted:

Hi Wim,

I gave tabbing the harmonies a try.

After I scanned it I noticed that in page 2, meas. 23, 11 should be 10 (I think)

The high harmony part (p.1) I feel pretty good about but I have not checked the low part. Let me know if you see any other changes and I'll re-post it.

Nice .. I'll have a look when I get home from work. B-6 chord on p2 should be Bb-6. Umm, I had a listen to the harmony last night too and I thought those C natural should be C# , I'm talking about the 3rd note in 2nd bar. Melody note on that beat is an A so it would be harmonised like a major third, but I'll have to have a closer listen when I have my guitar with me tonight ..

p.s. One of the chord runs (F- up to Bb-) guitar has a higher voicing, To me it sounds like [xx6768] -> [x x 11 12 11 13]

Bones

Oh right, Bbm. Typo

I'll give a listen to the C#.

On the chord run I didn't really check the harmony as it's pretty optional. Any chromatic movement/inversion will work if you like the sound of it.

thanks

Hi Wim,

Sorry I was concentrating on Indifference for the last few days in the little practice time that I've had and I just got a chance to get back to it.

Yes, I agree, I think that they are using C#.

Thanks for the feedback!
