Hey buddies, let's take a look at That's The Way I Like It.
[Cm] [Fm]
[Cm]
[Fm]
[Cm] [Fm]
[Cm]
[N]
Okay, so it's a great fun tune and just two chords, okay?
So the intro and verse is over [Fm]
an F minor 7.
Okay, I'm just playing
keep [N] that rhythm going, okay?
And so
and over that, we've got the kind of brass and vocals [G] doing
[G]
So to add that on [F] guitar, I put that on a loop and played that with [Cm] octaves.
[G] [D]
Okay, so I'm just playing a C [C] octave.
3 and 5.
Then [D] to D.
[G]
5 [D] and 7.
[Eb] Eb.
6 and 8.
[G] Going up to G.
10 and 12.
Back down to [Cm] Eb.
[Bm] D.
Back to [C] D.
Back to C.
Bb, [Bb] 1 and 3.
[C] Back to C.
[Bm] [Eb] [D] [C]
[Eb] [Gm]
And for the That's The Way I Like It bit, that's all over a C minor 7 chord.
[N] But the way I like to play it is, if you listen to the record, there's playing like some funky riffs around there.
[Cm]
[Eb] [Cm]
So you can play, [N] kind of jam around there, but basically I'm playing [Gm] around the [Cm] C blues scale.
So I'm playing
[Eb] So I'm playing [C] a C note on the bottom.
[Eb]
And then I'm playing Bb, Eb and G.
Okay?
[E] On the 8th [Eb] fret.
Then just re-picking the [G] Bb.
[C] [G] And then going to a C on 10.
[B] And then I'm playing 10 and [G] 10, [Cm] pulling [D] off to 8 and 8.
So playing F and A, pulling off to Eb and G.
And then landing on the C on 10.
[Eb] [Cm]
And then just [Eb] playing again, 8 and 8.
And Bb.
[Cm] Then C, E [A] and G.
But you can mix that up.
You can [Cm]
[C] play anything around that [Gb] chord.
It's a great funky [G] song to play around, just putting some funk over that C minor [Fm] 7 chord.
So the verse is just
Da da da
Da da da
Da da da
Da da da
[Cm] Whatever
[Gm]
you want.
Have a lot of fun just playing, [Cm] giving [Gb] it some funk.
And enjoy.
That's the way I like it.
