Just a short note about Fake Books (and I suppose other books or
|
||
|
|
sheet music) and the chords they show for songs... Quite often
|
||
|
|
the chords are wrong! Don't be misled into thinking that just
|
||
|
|
because it's published that way it's right. I've found the same
|
||
|
|
error in not only one book, but I've seen the same error duplicated
|
||
|
|
in different books by different publishers. In many cases you'll
|
||
|
|
see a song published in many different books all by the same
|
||
|
|
publisher, and the mistakes are faithfully copied in each volume.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, if a chord in a song doesn't "sound right":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- it might be a bug in MMA,
|
||
|
|
- it might be your ears,
|
||
|
|
- it might just be a dumb song,
|
||
|
|
- it might be a typo on your part,
|
||
|
|
- it might be a bad chart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need a bit of musical education to track down some
|
||
|
|
problems, or a musician friend. But, if you see something like
|
||
|
|
a "Em" chord in the key of B-flat and it sounds "odd", you
|
||
|
|
probably would be well to try a E-flat or E-flat-minor
|
||
|
|
chord instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't even ask how I know all this :)
