Hi clever folks. Setting myself some homework. Not only to play but analyse BAL and understand the playing as it relates to the chord progression.
Tonights question is this. Btw, using standard tuning not Eb as per original.
The verse is:
A E F#m D
A E F#m D
D A Bmin G
D A Bmin G
The chorus is
A E F#min G
A E D
A E F#min G
A E D
Outro is:
C G Amin F Repeated 3 times
FFFFFF C repeated 3 times.
So working out the verse and chorus is in A major and is a:
I V vi IV twice
IV I ii bVII...... eh? What the hell is that G major doing there. So I recognise that it isn’t following diatonic harmony (and it’s Hendrix so why does it have to) and the G is a flat major 7 chord ( not a sharp 6 as we already have a min 6 chord).... can anyone explain the technical terminology for what the G is doing please?
the outro is a key change to a I V vi IV in C major.
How am I doing?

Yup a brief modulation to D.
Btw, the Bm chord is is in A major too.
