  • Notes for members
  •  
    1. Stack Cm7 chord
      1. Bass C - Root
      2. Bari G – 5th (Consider not including this and just have the Baris sing the C, but I think it will help with finding the starting note for Leads)
      3. Lead Eb – minor 3rd
      4. Tenor Bb – minor 7th
    1. Move to starting note – goal is to not do this for performance. For rehearsal only. This does not make a pretty chord so we will just record the moves individually.
    1. Bass C to C
    2. Bari G to C
    3. Lead Eb to D
    4. Tenor Bb to Bb
