The Stumble

[TD-SV]

Can someone tell me the turn-around to The Stumble.
Chord names, I - VI - IV - V , etc - I know I'm playing it wrong.

It's got a 1-6-2-5 turnaround.

That's more like it but the 6 (c#) seems to stick out.
Is there more to it than that? seventh or summhat?

I think the 6 chord is a minor D flat. I don't have a guitar handy but in my head I think thats what is sticking out on the 6. If its not minor than its ambigiously neither. BTW, anyone know how Freddie riffs over that turn around? I got several ways of pulling it off but none sound exactly like his. I would love to see his hands doing it on a video!

I use a plain ol' C#7 chord in C formation, AKA the "Taxman" chord or the "Born on the Bayou" chord. I don't know if it's authentic, but it sounds right to me.

I've always found those 6ths to be awkward to play. When I play it, I like jump strings and stay in one part of the neck until the end where I shift to the open position. Most people I know stay on the same strings and furiously slide up and down the neck. That doesn't work as well for me.

Same here.

I play I (E), VI (C#7), II (F#7), IV (b7).

The C#7 with the root on the 5th string works well if you play the B and C notes before it and the B7 with the A and B# before it.
