Band members playing the wrong chords..

Is it "Does your mother know?"

If it is, I'd say it would sound shit without the Cm

(Ok, it would still sound shit with the Cm, but I take Emp's point..)

Well spotted! We do that song too. Yep, you can’t play C major there! No way. The keys should be emphasising the D to Eb there.

@Bridgehouse - You're a clever man! Well spotted. We are actually doing the Ash version, which is heavier. As far as Si_'s comment that "95% of the forum wouldn't notice” if a major is played instead of a minor, I think you don't know this forum very well and it's a bit insulting!

It's not for the wrong chords of for the asking questions/raising the issue, it's for the childish "I'll just turn up and drown everyone out who's wrong".. That's not beneficial to the band, or helpful for anyone. Turning up and starting a volume war is not "wanting to make the band sound as good as it could be".

@Si_ ;Fair enough. I didn't pick that up first time through and can only agree.

It was slightly tongue-in-cheek. There is no 'volume war'. The band members are mates, the only one playing the major is the keyboard player and I just play the minor. It is an attempt to get the sound better though, as, having heard it, it sounds better when only one of us is playing the wrong chord.

I knew that. I was just apologising to Si for misunderstanding which bit of your behaviour he was so upset by.

Still a shame that you can't just sort it out together and move onwards though. Maybe you could persuade the keys that it sounds better if you all play a C5 (but you play the Cm anyway...)

Howdy, Stranger!
