N: This tune is at least as much in A freygish (one of Steve Epstein's favorite modes) as it is in D minor.
N: A freygish is like playing in A major and D harmonic minor at the same time, emphasizing the chords
N: A major, Bb major (or G minor), and D minor.
N: 
N: An easy and colorful chord substitution for guitarists: instead of a standard Bb chord (in the context
N: of A freygish), move the open position A chord up one fret: x03330, letting the low A and high E 
N: strings ring, giving a sophisticated variation on Bb/A. (Similarly, in E freygish, try moving the Emaj
N: chord up one fret: 033200, giving a variation on F/E.)
