Greetings,
Anyone know the short series of Chords/Triads that Angelo Debarre opens this with?

Thanks,
Jack

    Not sure if this is what you are wanting, but, in Bb (Gm) I think it's something like:

    Gm6 | Gm/Bb | D7 (repeat)

    Gm6: 3 - x - 2 - 3 - x - x
    Gm/Bb: 6 - x - 5 - 7 - x - x
    D7: 5 - x - 4 - 5 - x - x
    and a single note descending lick from Eb - D - C - Bb - A or similar (really up to you)

    What CD or version are you referencing? I don't have his version but Bero Landauer does something like the above. It probably could be played with more notes (full chords), but I cheat when I can, and use 3.

    Hi Jack,

    Sounds like a variation on this standard intro (try some different tensions on the Bb7):

    D7 (or Am) Gm6 C7.......B7..........Bb7
    -8------------------------6-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -7------------------------5----------------------5---------------------------------------------------
    -9------------------------7----------------------3----------------------------------------------------
    -7------------------------5----------------------5---------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------3-----etc---------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    then an A7b9 arpeggio, resolve to D, launch into tune...

    Jack

    Things are good here...we're taking it light until after New Year's, but you can find our regular gigs here. (Fridays and Sundays, mostly.)

    best,
    Jack.
