Start Jamming...
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.
