All Right Now’s chords and progressions
The chords for All Right Now are largely centered around the traditional blues concept of the I – IV and V, although there is more to it.
In the key of A, the A chord is most of the time an A5. When we move to the D chord (IV) we maintain that A in the bass.
As the chorus appears, we include a G chord, this is the classic rock n roll bVIIx. The D now gets an F# in the bass.
The E chord, which is chord V, only appears once, at the end of the (very long) solo.
The solo is backed up by a very distinctive bass line. In fact, from beginning to end, All Right Now is packed with slash chords and interesting bass movements.
And I supposed, once you know that Andy, the bass player wrote the song, it all makes sense as to why All Right Now’s chords are what they are.
All Right Now was written by Free’s bass player
