[Dixielandjazz] Charleston (12th bar chord)

[Bill Gunter]

Hi Listmates,

John Farrell originally asked what the chord was in the 12th bar of The 
Charleston. I responded "G7."

The other responses have been quite varied, most seeming to favor Gm6 and it 
has also prompted some general discussion on chord formation.

I'd like to know what the chord is in the 11th bar of The Charleston. Is it 
possibly a G7 chord with the Gm6 as a "passing chord" in the 12th bar 
leading to the Dm which starts the next phrase?

FURTHERMORE - are we talking about the Verse or the Chorus? I assumed the 
chorus when I said the 12th bar was a G7. In the 12th bar of the verse, on 
the other hand, I would use a Gm. If some of you are talking "verse" and 
others of us are talking "chorus" we've been engaged in a rather pointless 
debate.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "What do I know, I play the washboard" Gunter
