I am playing the guitar parts on my G70 for the musical production of Bye Bye Birdie at a local school in my hometown. The score has some chord notations that I'm not sure about. What is D with a little superscript "o" 7? How about D with a small superscript triangle 7? How about D with a small subscript triangle 7? I'm sure someone here knows the answer. Thanks,

Tom

Thank you Stephen. The triangle means major 7th and the little o means it is a diminished chord. I've got it, thanks.

Wow, "Bye-Bye Birdie..."

I played the role of Albert Peterson in my senior year of 1978 at Gateway Senior High in a suburb outside of Pittsburgh, PA...

Lots of fun tunes, but my favorite-hands down...was "Talk to me." Great memories, to be sure...

Good luck with your production, Tom...

"Talk to me" .... written so well, even Dick Van Dyke sounded great on it! It's a beautiful melody, and when the barbershop harmonies come in ...... ahhhhhh - even better.
BTW - I like DVD, but I don't think of him when I think of great singers!

actually that's incorrect, if as you said before there is also '7'.

That means it's a DIMINISHED SEVENTH chord. It looks similar but in fact it's not really....it has a diminished seventh on top beside the diminished fifth.

A diminished triad will work too, but the harmony will be incomplete and not intended as on the sheet.

When I play a diminished chord it is always 1 b3 b5 b7. That way I only need to know three of them. smile
