Dream A Little Dream

Well this is a tricky song to play in any version but this one can be made easier by shifting it 5 semitones in Chordie.

This has the effect of making the chorus G Em C D which is a classic 30s song chord sequence. But what of the verse, looks impossible, Bm A7 F#7 F7, how can that be played?

I found the trick was to bring your guitar up close and make an AM barre chord shape, but here's the twist put all your fingers in the third fret except your first which is barreing at 1st fret. This gives a meaty B minor chord and then you slip back to make an open A7 with your second and ring fingers, keep the E7 shape though and move them up to barre at 2nd fret for F#7 and then slip back one fret for F7. It's easier than describing it.

Now the next verse line is similar Bm A7 but then play open Dm and then barre G7 at the third fret, again the second and ring fingers keep roughly the same shape.

Lastly Cm is an Am shape at third and Ebm sounds a bit off so I barre at third and modulate a minor and seventh sorta thing, it sounds OK. Then onwards to that easy chorus which ends in the F#7 F7 slide again.

This is a very jazzy song so set your amp clean and turn tone up full, add a pinch of echo and vibrato.
