Nerding out here, lol....3:17 - what a creative bassline. 1, 3, 4, #5, then 1, 3, 2, 5. My ears expected 1, 3, 4, 5 the first time. Never in a million years would I have ever thought to use the #5. Sort of like a IV minor 6 over the 3rd, using that bass note to imply heavy resolution to the 5 of the one chord which is taken over in the melody. This guy is Mozart level....what a boss. I've learned so much from Fearofdark.
