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

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.

Rhythm, Volume 1
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.
In case anyone else is confused by that tab, the 1st to 6th refers to the strings, not the note...it's the reverse of the usual tab...
best,
Jack.
