Re: Tonal Harmony Reply #1 – 1997-02-28 05:00 am You could try III 7th. So in the key of G the progression would be B7 to Emin. You could get to the B7 from Dmaj by sharpening the D and adding the B. This must be fairly common in folk music because my Melodeon (a sort of button accordion) has only six base chords to fit the keys of G and D. These are C, G, D and A as expected, and then Emin and B7 which are unexpected but obviously historically of more than trivial importance. Quote Selected
