Hi I'm David Kaynor for expertvillage.com and I'm continuing the deep analyzes of The West End a nice old British tune. Now we are in the B part and the B part has a lot of sections. I'm going to play here the whole thing first then I'm going to identify the first one. Now the first element of the B part starts with a F sharp G pick up and that is a C natural even if we are in the key of D were a C sharp is usually called for. This particular tune uses a C natural and a cordial player a cordial accompanies would play a C chord there. And that is the first element of the B part.
Thanks. Very clear and easy to follow. Cool tune
