sounds great Romain

Buco

Great rhythm from both guitars.
I was trying to figure out the sweet chord progression variations from Romain. Some of it I think I got but some I have trouble with. Anybody knows what's he doing there during the violin melody?

wim

On the head in that all sounds pretty standard to me, was there a spot in particular you're asking about?

Buco

Hey Wim, I spent some time with it today and I think I got some of it now.

I see in the second bar he does two beats A7 then two beats of Edim (which is something I don't think about doing so it's nice to hear it working nicely). What was throwing me starts in the bar five but I think I see what he does now, basically I G7 Db7 I C7 I with G7 as:
--5--
--6--
--3--
--5--
--5--
--x--

Then starting in bar 7 he walks from F to A7, does two beats of F then beat each of
----x---x---
----x---x---
----4---5---
----3---4---
----x---x---
----4---5---
Then goes to A7 with the same voicing like the G7 earlier for two beats
----7----
----8----
----6----
----7----
----7----
----x----
Then two beats of Eb7 as approach to the second A section.
Is that about right?

I hear him walking A7 and D- in the B section, I came up with something that's gotta be similar to what he's doing using similar thinking as in the A section.
That was a nice little lesson for me.

wim

Yes seems right except I think the G chord not like

--5--
--6--
--3--
--5--
--5--
--x--

it sounds like Romain is using fatter rhythm chords, more like

--5--
--6--
--4--
--5--
--5--
--3--

left thumb on the bass note, and middle finger pushing down both A + D strings 5th fret

Buco

Ah that's a typo on the G string, should be B note, 4 fret of course. Yeah, I was trying to pay attention to that specifically and to me it didn't look like he was thumbing the bass note but there is a really fat tone which I thought was coming from the rhythm guitar (not sure what his name is).
Cool, thanks for checking into it man.
