Chords for Bridge over Troubled Waters Tutorial 2 of 4

[Ebm] _ Hi guys, welcome back.
Are you still with me?
Um, okay, [Bb] I hope you did your homework.
Here it [Eb] was.
_ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _ _
You know that so far?
Good.
_ Now, we swing our hand [Ab] up to,
_ _ _ [F] _ [A] _ _ [Gb]
that's why I want to teach you in this vid, okay?
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] A flat, C, E flat.
Look, it's just an A flat chord, right?
A flat, C, E flat.
Just spell it out.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ That's sort of how the bass goes.
You don't have to memorize all that right now.
So, what you know [Eb] so far. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ Okay, we're swinging up to A [Ab] flat.
[Cm] _
_ [C] _ _ [Ab] Then A flat, [F] F, [A] A, [Gb] F sharp.
[A] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ All right?
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [D] _ [Bb] My dogs are fighting.
Please, please excuse that really weird noise.
Bark, bark, [Cm] bark, bark, _ [F] _ _ [Gb] _ [Eb] _ _
_ [C] _ bark.
That's how the bass goes.
_ [Eb]
Don't worry, I'll break it down.
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ Okay, this is where the [Fm] A flat comes [Ab] in.
_ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] Right hand's playing.
[Ab] E flat, A flat, C.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Ab] E flat, A flat, C.
Okay, it's an A flat chord, right?
So, _ an inversion.
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ It's just a B flat chord.
Look, we're taking our B flat root and put it up here.
_ [C] I don't even know what this is.
C, E flat, and G flat.
_ _ From the top, [Eb] it'll look like this. _ _
[Gm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bb] B flat, _ [C] _ _ C, E flat, G.
_ _ _ Okay, still one last [Eb] time, okay?
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ _
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, there's a lot of notes in this tune,
so really hang tight.
It takes a while.
I just learn one little part every day.
_ _ [Eb] _ But it's so cool, and you can play it.
If you've been playing my stuff up to now,
you can play this.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ Move to the A flat and the bass,
and right here is where we play the [Ab] A flat top.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] Now, I just noticed the right hand only hits once there.
[Cm] You're doing a little bass run.
[Ab] _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ Remember [Ab] that part?
[A] _ [Gb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Cm] _
Well, you're [Eb] on the [Ab] A flat, so you go back to [Cm] it. _ _
[F] _ [A] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [F] _
[A] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ So, from the top again, for [Eb] my brain,
_ _ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _ _
it's where the A flat in the right and the left, [Ab] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ okay?
[Bb] _ _ _
So, [Ab] on the A flat there, we're [Bb] playing that D, F,
and the B flat. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Gb] _
[Ab] So, the chords hit on [F] the _ [Gb] there, [Ab] so [F] there, [A] and there.
[Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [B] Okay, [Cm] _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ that's our next part. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And so, [Bb] B [Eb] flat, [G] E flat, G, [Eb] _
back to [Bb] E flat.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] Right hand is _ _ _ _ [C] C minor, right?
There's a C [Cm] major, C minor, spell it.
_ C, [G] E flat, and G.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] You're going from C [Eb] minor,
and you're dropping [C] that C down [G] to the B flat
when you hit the G [Eb] down here. _ _ _
_ [Abm] Okay, a lot of info.
Don't [Bb] let me go too fast.
You can do [Eb] it.
_ _ _ _ Let's put it [B] in perspective.
And I gotta reset myself again, [Eb] sorry.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
[Bb] _ A [Ab] flat.
_ _ [Cm] _
Remember, [N] now, that bass run went alone,
and the [Ab] right hand stayed there.
[Cm] _
_ _ [Bb] That's where we move. _ _
A flat, B, F, and B flat. _ _ _
[F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ Now, [Bb] as we move into this next one,
I was telling you about it.
It goes [Eb] B flat, E flat, G, and back to E flat there.
_ _ _ When we're doing that,
[Cm] _ _ [Ab] we ended up in the right hand here, right?
When we were doing [Cm] that.
_ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gb]
Remember, that's where the right [C] hand ended up.
All we gotta do for the next set
is take [G] the G flat and take her up to the G.
[Cm] And we'd be doing that C minor again, right?
_ _ _ Okay, so, _ _ [N] let's go.
Sorry, I lost again.
Let's go from the top, and we'll [Eb] tie it in there.
_ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Cm] Hello?
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Gb] _
This is the part I'm talking about.
We're going from this G [G] flat, _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ so, C minor, _ walk the bass E flat,
but when we hit the G,
[C] we're gonna take this C down to the [Eb] B flat.
_ _ _ Okay, how we doing for time?
Pretty good.
I'm gonna stop it right at that point.
So, let's slowly do the whole thing together, right? _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
[Ebm] _ _ Remember the C [Eb] minor here? _ _ _
_ _ So, that last little section, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ that's where I'm gonna [G] start the next video,
right on that chord.
So, come on back, and I want you guys to learn this.
[C] _ I really like it.
_ _ Okay,
