One of the most beautiful pedal bass examples

You've lost that loving feeling - The Righteous Brothers


Produced by Phil Spector.

If it started on C major the next chord would be C bass with B flat major.


But everything is a semitone up making it even more beautiful.


It is written in C sharp major. Same key as The Chariots of Fire - Vangelis


Another amazing example of pedal bass is


Alfie - Burt Bacharach

Is it B flat major and then B flat bass with E flat major? Ie


Key B flat
B   What's it all about    (1  3  5  by default)
B 4 6   Alfie
