Playback

Simplified chord chart for Playback (karaoke of Karaokê Show), in C at 129 BPM: 5 chords instead of 9, and 67 changes instead of 67. Sevenths became triads (Am, C, E, F, G), which cuts down the shapes you have to learn. Good for playing along all the way through without stalling on a change.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, but no change was merged: in this song the chords already last long enough, so the number of changes is the same. A diminished chord appears as minor — that is a substitution, not an equivalence: it sounds close when you are playing along, but it is not the same chord. For the harmony as it is, use the full version.
