How to Analyze Chords in an Gb Major (G Flat) Song

So, again I just want to reiterate that we're going to be playing just mainly melodies today and I'll explain to you how to go and reference and find these different chords. If you search for my first fake book or if you just search for A flat minor my first fake book, like A flat minor will come up. It's out of G flat major and E major comes out of E major. E flat minor etc. And we're going to have to look about five or six chords up and they we'll use a lot of the same chords twice. So, if you use E major here and here. Use E flat minor here, here, and here. And we use a lot of the chords twice. So, it's not too much work. You might have to go search on Expert Village and figure out a couple of other things. But, again you can take this simple tune and get all this different information out of it as we run this melody through. And, I'll give you references because we can't fit all this information into one lesson plan. So, you can go through and look up all these different chords and then the tune will play at the end. It's just these simple block chords with the melody line and you'll hear how pretty it sounds. And you can fake your friends. Make them think you've been playing for years and they'll really believe it. Because this is going to sound like gold.
