| Mar 15, 2021 at 18:07 | comment | added | user45266 | @yerman Context would be critical in that case; why is it that an Em/Fbm chord appears in this song? What's going on that can explain the strange chord? You may wish to ask a separate question with more details, but if you can find out what the Em/Fbm V-to-i chord sequence is doing there in the song, you will be well on your way to determining its proper spelling. | |
| Mar 15, 2021 at 18:07 | comment | added | Aaron | @yerman Agreed. B makes more sense in an Em context. Especially in a lead sheet, that would be standard practice. | |
| Mar 15, 2021 at 17:13 | comment | added | yerman | Okay I have a bit of a dilemma, because I'm realising that the following chord is E minor, and it stays in Em for a little bit afterwards. If the Cb/B chord is like a V of Em, then in this particular context might it make more sense to write B7 - Em than Cb7 - Fbm (which is a bit ugly)? | |

| Mar 15, 2021 at 16:58 | comment | added | Aaron | @yerman Cb for sure. | |
| Mar 15, 2021 at 16:57 | comment | added | yerman | @Aaron I agree about the key, after listening to it the whole way through again. I guess it modulates to Bb for the solo. I appreciate the thinking behind transposing to C or D, but I want to stay in the original key if possible (if for no other reason than a challenge). I would like to hear your opinion on whether to use Cb or B, though. | |
| Mar 15, 2021 at 16:54 | comment | added | Tim | I should have persevered through to the end... although songs such as this could very well modulate through several keys on their way to that end. | |
