Topic: Bfm

Can anyone help me with this chord?
Lionel Richie's "All Night Long"
G# Well my friends   the F# time has come
Bfm to raise the roof and G# have some fun
I've looked every where and now need the help of the pro's
Look forward to hearing back from ya!

Re: Bfm

It looks like it should read B#m,  when I play it that sounds right.  I could not edit it from the Artists page, so I added it to my song book.

Re: Bfm

Music theory 101 here; E and B have no sharps(#)
                                        F and C have no flats (b)

There is no such thing as B#m. The corrected chord in this version;

is C# (x46664). The chord diagrams have the correct chords but the chord over lyric is incorrect ( Bfm= C# in this song)

It'd be much easier to play this song dropping it down a half step and play a G F C progression. Or play C's relative minor (Am) using a G F Am progression. There are so many instruments layered in Lionel's recording of the song. Perhaps alternating G F C and G F Am might sound nice.

Give everything but up.

Re: Bfm

Yea thats my bad.  I play the verse with a Bbm, not the C#,  it sounded closer the the origional to me.  but I posted as B#m not the Bbm I was playing. 

Its the story of my life, I sharped when I should have Flated.
