OP Dr_Cogitatio Full Member D Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 27 Sweden	Hello! I just got a new piece (a lead sheet) from my teacher and I need help with a chord. The melody is a G major (D G B) and above whe melody is a Fmaj7#11 and right under the Fmaj7#11 there is a G/F. Which chord should I play? Hope you understand my question. http://www.scorser.ru/download.aspx?id=860E13D4C43B228E63CA5C15B98C93E9&ip=-1902552784 (page 16, bar 10) Guy Wood - My one and only love

I'd say you can take your pick. The G/F you know. An example open voicing of the +11 chord might be (reading up from the LH bass 'F') FCABE youtubes

Or maybe a Em7/F, which basically makes it a G/F with the 7th of the F, but not the 3rd or 5th.

Men soundet skiljer . . . Du får helt enkelt prova och välja den du tycker bäst funkar.
