Can't figure that one out... bass is in G, but it may not be the root.

Thanks!


I'll have to give it a listen, but it certainly would have the characteristics of a G minor chord (G-Bb-D), especially if the bass is playing G. In a most minor scales, you also have a flat 6th (Eb) as a natural scale tone, which would make it simply a non-chord tone. Maybe Mike has a different take on it...
