well, actually, sorry bout the bad tab.i played a
G chord, letting the 5th ( D, 2nd string 3rd fret)
start the chromatic run. i 'tweened' a D# before the
E note and stuttered that E in a C a chord. F, F#
introduced the G chord and i kept goin up with G# to
introduce the A included in a D7/9 chord, D being the
dominant to the G, which resolves the phrase if ya
choose to , or , since its a 9 i coulda kept goin because
it aint like a 7 chord which practically demands resolution.
i chose to stop there . coulda done a A# note to introduce
a G chord , with the third (B) ending the note run. or on
further, its a taste thing.
and the dominant dominant thing is...well,ya can
substitute the 5th 5th for the 5th. just strummin sounds
kindo beethovenish but pluckin round ya can get cool
flavors. and hey! ya ask good questions. : )
