billroperOnce I finally got the studio computer to behave again, I went back to working over tracks for "Crosstime Bus" and laying down more guitar tracks and replacement scratch vocals that wouldn't be contaminated with the original scratch guitar. The first song wasn't much of a challenge.
And then I was off into "It's All Right". I have been practicing this song. It shouldn't be a problem.
Except I can hear that the second chord that I'm playing in the song is *clearly* not the same chord that is on the scratch tracks. It's labeled on the lyric sheet as "Bm7/A". Right...
Ok, I can hear the high A on the first string clearly. What are the other notes that are in this thing?
Eventually, I realize that this is a D7sus moved up to the third fret. The guitar chord analyzer tells me that it is (among other things) "Bm7/A". Uh huh.
It's amazing how much easier it is to play the guitar when you know what you are playing.
