D


A


F


G


 


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?
