Sorry, that's slightly careless of me; I meant G minor. I'm more used to using roman numerals for chords, so I was thinking of the second bar as a classic II - V - I cadence. > In guitar accompaniments for music, it's not uncommon for chords that have > very short durations to be left out, and replaced with the chord that it > will resolve to. Fair enough. I'm not really that familar with guitar accompaniments; since I tend to approach it from a classical perspective, my experience of using chords is related more to harmonic analysis. > Do you think I should add the Gm for the first beat, then the C for the > second? I think it's OK to leave it as it is, since you've explained the rationale behind having simple chords as an accompaniment.
