- The "complex" math in this poster disguises the simplicity of these chords and transitions.. If you're really interested in music theory (and why those transitions sound the way they do), "The Songwriting Secrets of The Beatles" is one of the best sources available today.

- My favourite book on music theory is 'Songwriting Secrets of The Beatles' by Dominic Pedler. The title doesn't do it justice. It's a magnificent treatise on music theory and song writing using the Beatles songs as examples. If you're a Beatles fan like me, it's a must read!
- Dominic Pendler dedicated a chapter of his book "The Songwriting Secrets of the Beatles" to this chord, and demonstrates quite convincingly that there was a piano involved. It's a bit disappointing that the Dalhousie professor doesn't point to the existing literature before claiming to have discovered something novel.
