LearnJazzPiano.com archives: Rn'B song progression

mco246 -- 05/11/2005, 09:25:28 -- #13710

I am trying to figure out the chord progression for “all the things your man wont do” by the artist Joe (RnB/Soul singer). Here’s what I hear: (non diatonic progressions) Key: Eb natural minor. (Ebm7 = i chord) Verse: /  Eb m7  /  Gb  /  Eb m7  /  Gb   Fm bb7  / Chorus / Ab m7  /  Bb m7  /  Bm7  /  Dbm7  G  / Bm7 /  Db7  Bb7  / Is this correct? It’s a really nice song for those who havnt heard it. Thanks ! Michael

Is his name really just Joe?   I have never heard it.  The bb7 should be a 6, which is pretty common with minor chords.

Thanks Marksdg, Yeah, his name is really Joe.. as far as i know. the Fm bb7 is actually made up of: F, Ab, B, D. So I wasnt sure how to write it.

That is Fdim, or written Fo. It is a diminished chord, where each interval is a minor third.
