5:30 - Hello sir, that's a very clear and comprehensive tutorial imho. Just an observation and not in any way a criticism, but interesting that you play Bb7(add2) for "I can hardly wait". Back in the 1980s when I played Reminiscing I used Gm9 (the inversion being G in the left hand and then simply Bb-D-F-A in the right). Try it and see what you think. Anyway many thanks for uploading, I know it's some kind of pun, but songs like Reminiscing bring back memories of the 70s/80s music scene for me. Great times!!
Hello! Thanks for the feedback - I always love getting tips or comments on my vids and, yes, I think you're right that this chord could/should be played and 'felt' like a Gm9 - the bass seems to sit on G from the preceding chord, whereas in my approximation I do ascend to Bb for a bit of added tension. But, truer to the original recording, it should probably be a Gm9. The string arrangement does seem to ascend to a Bb7 voicing, which is why I mistakenly play it like that. Typically, I just learn and play my approximations by ear and so sometimes it's really hard to discern the correct chords or inversions, but hopefully it gives the appropriate 'flavour', which is what I'm trying to create! Thanks again for the feedback.
Good point. I've listened to every live version of this from LRB I can find to hear that exact chord and my best guess is Gm9. The bass usually goes up an octave there and plays another G but it's often obscured by other parts. There are other chords that "work" though so there seems to be lots of ideas around the internet.
Thank you so very much. You're a big help

Thank you! Informative!
Very welcome!
Why the rush? It's a slower bop
