Peter A., thank you for your tabs of the songs. I'm in awe of the level of detail and accuracy you put into them. Question, though, on "Caroline and I," a song that I (as a primitive self-taught guitar player) more or less figured out myself. In the 2a section ("You gave me something small") the chord you have as F#m sounds like a Bm7 to me. I know nothing about music theory so you can probably easily prove I'm wrong, but I just thought I'd ask. Maybe I'm hearing something else in the arrangement that's steering me wrong? Thanks... | ||

Thanks for the kind words, Peter and rare breed. Yee and haw indeed! r.b.: I had another listen to "Caroline" and I'm pretty sure the F#m is correct. The bass certainly plays it as a root note. If you were to play a Bm7 it would include the D note on the B-string (3rd fret), which would stand out immediately for it is in the following G chord. That chord sequence in 2a ascends, and having the D-note would take away from that lifting, building feeling I feel is intended with the chord progression. Rest assured, I do these tabs with my finger hovering over the stop button of my portable tape player and a guitar snuggly under my arm. Doesn't mean I'm right though, I just think I am in this case. I played it with the Bm7 and it sounds nice and not too different from the F#m chord: this is because it roughly contains the same notes--Bm7 has an F# and A note too--with the exception of the D and B notes. | ||

Thanks for the explanation, Peter. Listening to it again, I can hear what you're saying about that section of "Caroline" being ascending. I'm just partial to the Bm7 chord, I guess! Probably from listening to Neil Young's "Powderfinger" too many times... |
