Thread: Strangers In The Night - Bert Kaempfert

  1. #1

    Default Strangers In The Night - Bert Kaempfert

    I want to learn "Strangers in the night" from the http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/moneychords/ggb1.pdf
    Great gig book p.557
    but have a few question about the chords used.
    Can anyone check and correct these used chords?

    F = F-A-C (triad)
    Ab0 = Ab-B-D (triad)
    G-7 = G-Bb-D-F#
    C7 = C-E-G-B
    F7 = F-A-C-E
    A-7b5 = A-C-Eb-G
    D7b9 = D-F#-A-C-Eb
    Bb-6 = Bb-Db-F-G
    D-7 = D-F-A-C
    C7sus4 = C-F-G-Bb

    Many thanks, Johan

    G-7 = G Bb D F
    C7 = C E G Bb
    F7 = F A C Eb

    Nine varieties of seventh chords:
    major 7 chord = major third - minor third - major third ex: C E G B
    minor 7 chord = minor 3rd - major third - minor third ex: C Eb G Bb
    dom 7 chord = major third - minor third - minor third ex: C E G Bb
    minor 7 b5 chord (=half diminished) chord = minor third - minor third - major third ex: C Eb Gb Bb
    minor with major 7 chord: minor third - major third - major third ex: C Eb G B
    dim 7 chord = minor third - minor third - minor third ex: C Eb Gb Bbb (=A)
    maj 7 b5 chord = major third - diminished third - augmented third ex: C E Gb B
    aug 7 chord = major third - major third - diminished third ex: C E G# Bb
    dom 7 sus 4 = perfect fourth - major second - major third ex: C F G Bb

    Hope this helps,

    Keith

    You can use the piano chords display and chord library features in the app to easily check chord notes.
    Choose the chord scales feature to display in notation.

    Wondering if anyone has charted Strangers In The Night as sung by Frank Sinatra. The mentioned chart does not appear to follow the song structure -- in particular, there is no indication of where Sinatra modulated a half step up to F# (kind of a semi-famous story about how the director overcame Sinatra's inability to hit the note by using the key change). Anyway, hoping someone can provide a shortcut to this masterpiece! Thank you.

    Hear it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd_3EkGr0-4

    OK, I bought the score and created a new chart to match the recording here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd_3EkGr0-4

    This chart includes the key change and outro vamp.

    Your chart is missing a slash(/) in the first space of both bars with Ab chords. And one more also….can you find it?

    Nope, there’s still a bar that needs a slash.
    Couldn’t you spot it?
    I’ll give you another try….
