yorks5stringer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Here on the good ship Idle Hands, we love to mix one song in around another. Our latest fave is "I need a Dollar" by Aloo Blacc which has the chord sequence as per the topic title. I'm stuggling to find another soully song with the same changes, the best I can come up with is "Sweet Home Alabama" or that RHCP "California" song neither which really fit our musical outlook.... Is there anyone out there in Basschat world who can think of any other songs with the same changes ( not necessarily the same key) that have a soully feel to them please? Thanks in anticipation, for those who don't know "I need a Dollar" here you are:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6oYX1D-0w Edited September 28, 2011 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Its not quite the same (C# major instead of minor, and double length) but you might be able to do something with You Got The Love - the first 2 chords are the defining feature. Can't think of anything else just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 As in Florence and the Machine or Candi Staton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Rikki Rooksby's book "How to Write Songs on Guitar" has a list of songs indexed by chord sequences. Unfortunately, for that particular sequence, the only song he gives is Cortez the Killer. Mind you, I'm sure a soul version of that song would be most interesting!

yorks5stringer Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 I was sure there would be something on the net that listed songs by chord sequences, but it would appear not! As for Cortez the Killer, don't know it but is it by Neil Young? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A splendidly doomy number. F#m / G#m / C#m would give you Heatwave in E Edited September 28, 2011 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 You could probably work Don't Look Any Further by Dennis Edwards into that - knock it down to G#m C#m D#m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Florence's version fits your brief. Candi's is much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
