Hi guys
I know this isnt guthrie related but I know most of you are very good at music theory, so I thought it would be a place to ask.
In the greg howe song, Samurai Faith (the first song on the Gentle Hearts dvd) I'm having a hard time figuring out the chord progression during the keyboard solo. I was wondering if anyone knew it or if anyone could help me out in trying to figure it out. If someone can give me a good site where I can post audio files, ill put up the part im talking about.

i usually use putfile.com

when it comes to figuring out chord progressions, back when my aural perception sucked (and it still does to some degree) i would start by first getting the root of each chord... then using some theory and some guess work to guessing which notes are in the chord...

It does get tricky when more complex voicings or inversions are used.. but that's part of the fun Twisted Evil

Code:
E||--------------------------|-----||
B||--------5--5--5--6--7--5--|-----||
G||--5--5--5--4--5--8--9--4--|-----||
D||--7--7--5--6--7--8--9--6--|-----||
A||--8--9-----------------7--|-----||
E||--------------------------|-----||


I think these are the chords, but im not positive. Im pretty bad with the names because it looks like a lot are inversions.
