It's nice to have an algorithmic way to find the pitches in a chord, but honestly anybody with a good ear can pick that out. Try sitting down with a Bill Evans recording and figuring out the different chords you hear - something jazz students do all the time.
The fact that it's not reproducible on a standard-tuned guitar might have stopped guitar players from figuring it out on the fretboard though.
- jcl 18y agohonestly anybody with a good ear can pick that out According to the article, this specific chord has been debated for decades by people with good ears.
- baddox 18y agoBut what they've debated is the exact voicing and instrumentation (which instrument played which part), NOT the notes of the chord. All this "debate" seems to just be Beatles fanboys looking for a lot more cleverness and complexity in Beatles music than really exists. As a huge fan of music and music theory, and no huge fan of the Beatles, I can assure you that countless abundantly more eluding, complex, and novel chords exist in other music.
