Goodbye, Old Paint "PAINT" is a name often given to a pinto (spotted) horse. In this piece, the treble Eis sometimes played with the 3rd finger, sometimes with the 2nd.

Lazily

STRETCH a 3rd!

* You may play the pairs of eighth notes a bit unevenly, in "WESTERN STYLE," if you wish.

The Primary Chords in A Minor USING V7 INSTEAD OF V

Remember: The V7 chord is made by adding a 7th to the V triad.

V7

To play the chord so it makes a smoother progression, omit the 5th, and move the 3rd & 7th down an octave.

V7 #V7

When a 7th chord is not in root position, the ROOT is ALWAYS the upper note of the interval of a 2nd!

The 3 PRIMARY CHORDS are now i, iv & V7. The same chords, one octave higher.
