to my ears it's an embellished Dm
(an added 4; as opposed to "sustained" (substituting the 3)
so would that be called a Dmadd4?
or
Dm/G?
or?
Context:
I came across on in a tut of "Lean on Me," using guitar to mimick the piano chords)
the guy doesn't name this chord;
but he says it's resolving the G6 before it;
but to my ears that's just an Em/G;
because there's no D in it
G
E
B
G
G
as I say that...
it might sense to me that it's sort of descending from Em, to Dm; over G (fifth of C)
so it's like it's pulling slowly down to the Tonic; but with all the tension of that Dominant pitch
i guess that's why it has so much longing in it?
anyways...
thoughts?
