    Robin Trower's Secret Place

    I've been listening to this track off of 20th Century Blues for a while now and finally decided to give it a whack. If anyone has some ideas, I could use some help on this one.

    Re: Robin Trower's Secret Place

    Sorry, damn touch pads suck!!!

    I was going to continue that I believe it is in Dmin and as far as I can tell the progression is D-9, G-9 some sort of Db then A-7 sort of with -9 in there somwhere.

    I really have no idea how to figure out what chord the Db is. What's confusing me is Db isn't in the D- scale so I'm not sure how to figure it out. I've listened to it about 50 times, and 2 dozen more with a slow downer, but just can't pick out the notes.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Db is only missing from the scale if you're playing a flat 7 in your scale.

    I have no idea what song sounds like but try this chord for the Db.

    Db dim
    E------------------------------------------------------------x
    B------------------------------5------------------------------
    G-------------------------4-----------------------------------
    D------------------------------5------------------------------
    A-------------------------4-----------------------------------
    E------------------------------------------------------------x

    For the A chord, try one of these:

    A7#9
    E---------------------------------6---------------------------
    B---------------------------------6---------------------------
    G-------------------------4-----------------------------------
    D-----------------------------5-------------------------------
    A------------------------------------------------------------x
    E------------------------------------------------------------x

    A aug5 add9
    E-----------------------------5-------------------------------
    B------------------------4------------------------------------
    G-----------------------4-------------------------------------
    D-----------------------------5-------------------------------
    A------------------------------------------------------------x
    E------------------------------------------------------------x

    Just some blind suggestions having not heard the tune.
    If you're bored, you're not groovin'.
