It's in Note Bleu off of Dropper, right about the 0:57 mark it comes up, right after the V-VI-I, it seems to be some type of Eb, the bass is riding between Eb and Bb, I just seem to have a mental block on it?? Thanks, Den   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

It's an Fm7 with an inverted minor 3rd. F,C,Eb,Ab. Minor third on top. At least that's what I hear. Funny thing, a person on another fan forum posed the same question about a Cm7 with the same inversion. I guess the ear gets used to hearing the 3rd after the root for so long......whatever.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I played around a bit more with it and was landing on a simple Ab major chord over an Eb in the bass which is where you landed with the addition of an F. I knew it was right under my nose, just couldn't seem to land there. Thanks for the ear.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The bass is doing some funky counterpoint. Sounds like a Db>Eb into the stop. There's a lot going on at this point. I'm still not positive about it but it's as close as my ears can get. It's happening pretty fast. jookey   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
