looking for voicings for this progression

steven_eire · November 2008

the first 3 chords in the bridge of dinah, it also crops up in montagne sainte-genevieve.

Em / EmΔ / Em7

the cosimini book suggested voicings with lots of open strings but that doesn't sound nice to my ears when played a la pompe. i'm looking for some chunkier sounding chords anyone have a good way to voice this?

also if you play these chords as majors you have the start of strawberry fields forever

x7998x
x7988x
x7978x

or

xx545x
xx544x
xx543x

There are others.

That minor line cliche also shows up at the beginning of Stairway to Heaven (in a different position), and can also be used in My Funny Valentine, Blue Skies, one of the sections of Oye Como Va, or as a sub for any static minor chord over several measures.

That's a line cliche...I have dozens of Gypsy variations used by Django, Bireli, etc in the Gypsy Rhythm book:

I like this one.

I use sometime when play just with other gutarist (in waltz for example):

Em - Emmaj7 - Em7 - Em6
X754XX
X654XX
X554(5)X
X454(5)X

Here is the voice in the bass.
