    Perhaps Phil could learn it again here... In an interview a long while back, he said he couldn't remember how to play it.
    I've speculated that after so much time working closely with Tony Banks, whose focus when song writing is with chord structure and melody that he'd automatically gain a significant chord awareness. I think it rubbed off, and this is one of the beautiful results. The man is a marvel. He is one of the greatest drummers... living or dead, and a good singer. He has excellent pitch proven by the overdubbed multiple vocal parts on Genesis' Entangled... I'll be crushed when he passes on. He's got two musician sons, Simon, and Nic. Both smoke on the drums, and Simon sounds just like Phil vocally. Ok, I've said enough.

      It’s making me feel old that they didn’t know it was written for a movie called: Against All Odds and the song was nominated for Academy Award. It really should have won. The movie wasn’t good at all.

    That second chord of the chorus is one of my favorites in any song! I suppose one must have a mind gloriously free of music theory student baggage in order to put the 11th in the bass of a dominant chord. 😁
    Great tutorial as always! 🙌

    • @evansakesat2776
      @evansakesat2776 Před měsícem +3

      Same with the Cm7 in the verse…standard music theory would dictate the VII should be half diminished. Same with the second chord of The Beatles’ Yesterday…Paul obviously wasn’t distracted by theory limitations either!
