Apart from those notes Gm and C7 would be largely the same.

Like the opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night": a variation on an F on top of a variation on a D.

When the song changes from G to C, the organ changes from G to G minor, so it's a G minor chord being played on top of a C that's creating that "funky" sound.

You have to consider who is playing .a-hard-days-night-ringo-9

It would be interesting to find out what kind of an organ Ringo was playing, maybe he had the top keys set to something strange and was just alternating with the bottom keys and he had the vibrato way up or something, it almost sounds like a Harmonium. But I can't imagine that Ringo was intentionally playing some sweet chord, maybe he accidentally is playing ...]]> Fri, 18 Nov 2011 03:45:51 +0000 RunForYourLife on I'm Looking Through You... http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/im-looking-through-you/#p46800 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/im-looking-through-you/#p46800 Howdy all. This is my first post here (Sorry if I'm in the wrong place), and I've got a question that's been bothering me for a while...

 

 

On the Anthology 2 version of "I'm Looking Through You", what are the chords that Ringo (According to the album notes) is playing on the organ during the instrumental breaks at 1:12 and 1:59? It's a I-IV-V progression in G, but it's not the standard "G-C-D". They're actually pretty funky sounding (Particularly between the transition from G to C), but I can't quite figure the notes out ...]]> Fri, 18 Nov 2011 01:55:57 +0000
