Anybody out there know all the changes to Chris Thile's "Set Me Up With One Of Your Friends"??
Great tune but I'm having trouble picking out the right changes. Thanks

I sat down one day to figure it out, and all I remember off the top of my head is that he starts on some sort of A chord. Knowing thile that means that the other chords are probably Gm, or Fm, or Cm, or something derived from those. Sorry I don't remember all of them, but I don't have my mandolin with me at the moment.
Sometimes just knowing the first chord can make everything click. Try different inversions of the A chord, and then minors and dimisheds and augmenteds etc. Eventually you will get it, seeing as how there is a finite number of possibilities, and also that Chris knows enough about theory that his chords ( for the most part ) are based in it, as opposed to what I do...lay my fingers on the fretboard in a random fashion and see if the "new" chord I have created is suitable =)
