Chord of the Month

Keyboards

Article from Making Music, December 1987

F7 sus 4 with F bass

Another suspended chord this month collected from Curiosity Killed the Cat's 'Misfit'. The chord is not so special in itself but the progression which it begins is notable for the stepwise flattening of the highest note. This gives the sequence F7 sus 4, F7, Fmin7 and lastly, with the additional lowering of the Eb to D, Bb6/9.
