thanks all

Stonebridge ... i agree with you on the rationale.  the Fmin gives the transition to the G more "force".  I had thought that might be (or similar to) the idea of cadence.  Just not at the end of the phrase. Guess the drop from the G# (Ab) into the G triad (GBD) is compelling...often those 1/2 steps are very strong.

i think i have the idea.

thanks all Byron

thanks

I have had a few run ins with cadence (see.... http://www.musictheory.halifax.ns.ca/22cadences.html  )... i though this might be another.  But i am fairly sure cadences are more than just meter, timing and beats.

thanks

thanks all for the input

But i was wondering if in this sequence the Fmin does provide some sort of tension that is technically released by the G... happens in other songs as well in leads.  ( i think that may be called cadence?)

thanks

Hi Folks

this is a common sequence:  C Am Fm G.... (e.g., sleepwalk- Santo and Johnny)
and it seems to be in the key of C (Am)...but what is the Fm doing in there!!!  I use it , so do lots of others, but i would very much appreciate a little theory explanation as to why it works...i am expecting the Fmaj base on my strict interpetation!

many thanks

thanks for reply:

i think what i was misinterpreting was the unlabelled lines--- i thought each stood for the whole riff...ergo the confusion... i now see that there are 6 lines for each riff, and this must be the 6 strings... didn't seem obvious to me, but that is the only thing it can be!

so the following (annotated with string letters) must be??

hi all:

my apologies if this is a duplicate, but i did try to search and find an answer...
I have used chordie for some time now, but have not posted.. your help is appreciated

i know how to read music and most tabs, but i cannot figure this tab out from the dire straits, so far away from me:
http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.u … ;id=147104

it looks like this:

BTW is there a resource which might have this type of info archived??
