Guitar & Piano Playing Tips
The jazz-flavoured chord substitutions (C#m7, Gm, B7sus) are what give this OPM ballad its emotional depth. Pay attention to the secondary dominant chords — A7 resolving to D, and D7 resolving to G — these are classic ii–V–I movements. On piano, try voicing the 7th chords in close position for a warm, intimate feel.
