A brilliant example of step downwards bass and creating major 7th interval with melody


Summer moved on - a-ha


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oVl4qvHuY8g


It begins at 2:51


Morten Harket sings F ie F sharp


Key is B minor ie all C and F are sharp


At 2:51 the vocal is sustained F sharp while bass goes:


B with F
A with F
G with F ie G major 7th
F with F
D with F and B ie D6 (there's an echo repeat of B)
C with F (echo repeat of B)
G with F ie G major 7th (echo repeat of B ie the 3rd from bass)
F and Bach to tonic ie
B


Note the 3rd with respect to bass is also added on most of these beautiful chords.
