How to play Sol: key, chords and progression

Sol by trdml keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 5 chords: Em9, Dmaj7, Dmaj7sus2, Dm9 and Dmaj7sus.

The backbone of the song is Em9 – Dmaj7 – Dm9 – Dmaj7 (iii9 – IImaj7 – ii9 – IImaj7 in C major). In solfa, that is mi – reh – reh – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, Em9 and Dm9 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
