Subject: RE: Accepted chords for traditional tunes
I agree with Greg Stephens 12:03 PM and though Dick, in the next post has tried stoutly to defend the F Major , I find it "jars" on me.
It seems a relatively new to play that way, I suppose it started +/- 25 years ago and although I can understand how it can work, it is something that I don't like to hear it. I used to refer it to it as nouveau accompaniment.It's not wrong - it's just my personal taste - I prefer a more traditional ( small "t") to accompaniment , but before slagging me off, just accept my ear is bit old fashioned , but I like it that way .
