_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Gb] Hi, I'm Richie Zellin and today I'd like to share the first of a series of phrases by
_ guitarist Barney Kessel, one of the greats who came up in the _ 1940s.
He was heavily influenced
by Charlie Christian. _
And this is a _ _ phrase taken off of the piece Green Dolphin Street
from the album The Pole Winners, _ _ _ featuring a trio comprised of bassist Ray Brown and
drummer Shelly Mann.
_ It's a major 2-5 in the key of E-flat with a 16th note feel and it
employs a diminished chord as a substitute for the dominant chord, for the 5 chord.
_ One, two, one, two, three, [Fm] four.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Eb] _ Okay, _ _ _ _ _ _ here goes the same phrase, _ really slow.
_ _ One, _ _ _ three, four.
[Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ This is a really easy phrase to _ transpose.
Here it is in the key of G.
_ _ _ Three, _ [Am] four. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Fm] _ Basically it happens over this progression, _ half [Ab] minor. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
In other words, _ _ _ three, four, [Ab] one, two, three, four, one, two.
[Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ Notice that _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] the E-flat diminished chord is taking the place of what normally would be a _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ dominant,
_ [Eb] _
a B-flat dominant resolving to the _ E-flat major 7.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
