Finally, there is no rule that the chord must contain the melody note; it can just support it.

Thank you I shall look into that. At the moment I am studying Carole King piano styles. She's simple but SO effective. I ma always going back to simplcity.

This bit is a turnaround.

Chords are:
D in Bass, RH 2nd inv D in right
C# in Bass. RH A root triad (slash chord)
B in Bass. F# A D - a form of B minor (looks like 1st inv D)
A in Bass. A major in 2nd inv.

Here is a good video on the style:


I am aware that I do not have to have strictly identical chords, but I would like to be close on this occasion. I want to take it around the cycles.
