great work, what chords are you playing is it Bm to em to Bm then g to f# or close to that?

[conradoberg]

Conrad said that he's playing Am7,Em7,G,Am7,Dm7,C,Dm7 then F7+9,E7+9. All of the fills are improvised and he never plays them the same way twice. Conrad said that most versions that he's heard are in Bm like you thought.
