The Major Chords (cont)
“Take Me Back to Tulsa” by Bob Wills (465KB -- MP3 file) is also a strict I - V – I chord based tune. It’s very jazzy,
but the I -V-I connection is very strong here. I have also included a Flash 6 version of "Take Me Back to Tulsa". Right-Click (PC) or Control Click (Mac) on the image when it comes up, and select "play" to start the sound. Select "Rewind" then "Play" to hear the song again. Select "Loop" to play the song repeatedly.

I also have chosen an example here of a Cajun tune from Beausoleil – the bass line is very distinct for the two chords (534kb -- MP3 file). I have also included a Flash 6 version of "Flammes d'Ever". Right-Click (PC) or Control Click (Mac) on the image when it comes up, and select "play" to start the sound. Select "Rewind" then "Play" to hear the song again. Select "Loop" to play the song repeatedly.

and a short excerpt from “Minuetto” by Hayden to further illustrate this compelling chord change (178KB -- MP3 file). I have also included a Flash 6 version of "Minuetto". Right-Click (PC) or Control Click (Mac) on the image when it comes up, and select "play" to start the sound. Select "Rewind" then "Play" to hear the song again. Select "Loop" to play the song repeatedly.
