G# Minor, F# , C# Minor.....I need a Dollar?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Here on the good ship Idle Hands, we love to mix one song in around another. Our latest fave is "I need a Dollar" by Aloo Blacc which has the chord sequence as per the topic title.

I'm stuggling to find another soully song with the same changes, the best I can come up with is "Sweet Home Alabama" or that RHCP "California" song neither which really fit our musical outlook....

Is there anyone out there in Basschat world who can think of any other songs with the same changes ( not necessarily the same key) that have a soully feel to them please?

Thanks in anticipation, for those who don't know "I need a Dollar" here you are:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6oYX1D-0w

Its not quite the same (C# major instead of minor, and double length) but you might be able to do something with You Got The Love - the first 2 chords are the defining feature. Can't think of anything else just now.

Rikki Rooksby's book "How to Write Songs on Guitar" has a list of songs indexed by chord sequences. Unfortunately, for that particular sequence, the only song he gives is Cortez the Killer. :)
Mind you, I'm sure a soul version of that song would be most interesting! :)

As for Cortez the Killer, don't know it but is it by Neil Young?[/quote]
Sure is. A splendidly doomy number.

F#m / G#m / C#m would give you Heatwave in E
