Oh awesome! I'm 99% sure these chords are correct but will double-check when I see Jon Cleary and The Monster Gentlemen in a couple of weeks for their Australian tour!
Cool video. Thx! I hear that Bb as more of 7th (or 13th to 7) vs a maj 7 chord. But now I'm gonna dig thru the records I have of that tune and listen some more.
Hello! Thanks for the kind words. I think of the Bbmaj7 as an inversion of the Gm (like a Gm9/Bb or Bb, A, D, F) if you know what I mean. In this case like a passing chord on the way to the Ebmaj7. It's an old jazz kinda thing: superimposing inversions over the chord eg Dm7 over a Gm unlocks the 9th and 11th and all those colour tones. Maybe I need to do another video to cover this stuff in more detail. Thanks again!
Hey, just chiming in. Would you just think of that as a Gm then a ii V I in Eb? Just an opinion, but I think it's important to highlight the b7 on that Bb chord.
Hello! This guitar is a KINMAN. Very rare and renowned in the Australian guitar community. It took me quite a while to find! I think they only made 100 or so of these and not sure how many made it to Japan. Thanks for watching :)
Yeah that would work! I use a Bbmaj.9 voicing in the verses here which I really think of as Gm9/Bb. I interchange with the Bb7 (or 13 would work also) as we head towards the Ebmaj7. Remember: if it sounds good, then it probably is! Thanks for your question :)
@@fredtibbetts291 Yep makes perfect sense in theory but don't think I'm playing a Bb13 in this video? I mainly think of it as a Bbmaj7/Gm9 voicing to bring out some jazzy flavours.
Loved this song for years but never got anywhere with the chords. Thank you so much Nathan 🙏

@@nathanleonardmusic Awesome, enjoy that! Is Derwin Perkins still with him?

Nice job man!
The sound of this guitar is wonderful, and the video was excellent and easy to understand.
Greetings from Brazil
Awesome feedback - thank you so much!
Is it….Kanade😮😮😮⁉️
It’s very wonderful guitar made in Shiga prefecture, Japan!!!
How did you get that? Even in Japan, it doesn’t circulate so much😃😃⁉️

Is the Bb a major 7 chord
I used Bb13, dominant sound that sends you to the Ebmaj7 chord

I was speaking in regard to the Bb13 chord, it contains Ab instead of A natural . . .
As well: Fmi7 Bd13 to Ebmaj7
Perfect ii V7 to I
