Hey folks, thanks for tuning in.
Today we have Long Cool Woman by the Hollies as requested by a good buddy of mine and student.
I'm not going to play the whole song, but I'm going to just break down the four sections.
_ Intro,
_ verse, chorus and the lead. _
So we have the intro, E minor lick with a line [E] walk.
Second position, open E.
_ [Bm] _
_ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [D] Fifth string, open D.
Then we [G] come up in third position, but land [N] on finger three on the fifth fret. _
D [G] string. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
Next [Ab] section, bottom of a G [G] chord.
_ _ Bottom [D] of a D over F sharp.
_ Back to [G] the G. _ _
[D] Slide up, finger A, A, D.
The notes.
I actually like this if you want to add a little [A] tension.
[D] _ [Dbm] Play the C sharp [G] there, so you would just slide the G bottom of the G chord [D] up.
_ _ [G] _ [D] Or _ _ [G] the way they're doing it.
[D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] So let's put the whole lick together, slowly.
[E] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] Again, adding that C sharp towards the end.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ Okay, now [G] _
[E] verse, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] G, third position, [A] A.
[E] Back to the A. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Back to the [G] G, third position, [A] A.
[E] _ _
Okay, [Dbm] _ [E] _ that's the verse section.
Now the chorus section.
[G] I'm going to count the measures because [F] there's an odd number. _
[Am] A.
_ Three, four, two, two, _
[B] _ _ three, four, two, two, three, four, three, two, three, four.
[Am] Back to the A.
_ Cool woman in a black dress.
And then the G.
[G] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ Back to A.
[Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Ab] _ [Abm] And that's the [G] solo.
So let's do that chorus section again.
Fifth position, A.
[A] You can do it just as a five or you can throw in the octave.
[Em] Whichever is easier.
Ready?
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Four, one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, three, two, three, [Am] four.
Cool woman in a black dress.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Am] Back to the A. _ _
_ _ Back [G] to the G. _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ Okay, now that's the lead leg, if you'd call it that.
So the funny part about that is the very [Ab] first part, he's playing a G sharp.
[G] And then after that he's playing G natural.
So the very [E] first part _ [Ab] is_
_ [D] _ _ _ Again, [E] it's bass player's playing an Eloi and guitar, G sharp [Ab] in the third string.
_ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ That's kind of a [Ab] quack, quack, quack.
_ [A] _ [D] _ _ Now [G] G natural.
[E] Back to the E.
E an octave lower.
Open E.
Back to that.
_ Again, that's that quacky, quack sound.
[G] And fifth [A] string.
[B] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
[E] _ [D] Fourth string.
_ Open G.
[G] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [Em] That's how that sounds together.
[A] _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
Again, from the beginning.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ [E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [E] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ And [G] _ [E] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] back [E] into_ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ [E] _ _ Okay.
[N] _ _
Have fun with that and keep picking. _ _ _ _
