- The Cmaj7 in the verse is open to interpretation. The piano does an E5, the
bass an E, but the overall tonality is Cmaj7 as she then augments to C. You
could choose to play an Em instead of Cmaj7, but I found it didn't really
translate well.
- The F6 could've also been interpreted as Dm but the bass does F when she
echoes the same patterns during the verses, and strumming an F6 with (in whole)
its F root sounds better, either placing thumb on 1st fret or whichever way.
- The way you arpeggiate the chords can be more guitar-style driven. Some
notes within went an octave higher so I kept them lower (ie. not jump to 12th
fret), but some progressions translated into a more dull result. Example:
where an E was followed by a higher E, remaining in that lower octave made the
arpeggio less interesting so I took the liberty to substitute some of the
notes to still give the same climb/descend effect.
