Chords for Emil Ernebro: Fly me to the moon Walking bass line, basics (3/7)

[Em] Go into A [Am] minor, _ you all know those chords.
Go into [D] D7, go into [G] G.
_ That's the [Em] first four chords in the song, in the key of E minor with G.
[D] _
Next [C] chord is C, _ and so forth.
But I'll [E] stop at the fourth bar, [Am] after the fourth bar.
So, what I do [D] now is, [Am] many people think,
oh man, you [E] have to think like, you have to have two [Em] brains,
because you play a bass line and then melody on top,
you have to [C] think like that.
But actually, in the beginning, it's all about _ your [E] hands
just actually training to do it.
It's not like I'm thinking, _ it's not like I have two brains.
So, if I play, I figure [N] out a bass line between those chords,
and a simple way to do it is just by using your ear.
I have a whole lesson on the moving bass lines
and how you actually [G#] find the good notes in the moving bass line.
It's kind of theory-based, so if you haven't done any music theory,
it might be a little bit weird, but you can [N] still check it out.
I will send it to you on the email if you want.
So, how to find a bass line.
But you can also just use your ear.
So, you have one bar of E minor, one bar of A minor,
D7, one bar, and G, one bar.
So, I figure [A] out a bass line between those chords.
[Em] So, E minor, I walk the bass [D] up to A.
[A] Here's the A note, over here,
and I [Em] figure [F#] I [E] have three notes [G] before I get to the [E] A note, right?
[F#] One, two, [G]
[G#] three, four.
Or four notes, sorry.
[A] And then I land on the next bar [Am] on the A note.
So, that seems [G] like a good [E] bass line.
[F#] _ [G] [A] Now, I'm going to the [C] D _ [E] chord,
and I can [Am] find something from D [Gm] to G in the same way,
and then from [Cm] G to C.
[G] So, I'll do this very slowly.
So, I [E] practice that first,
[F#] _ [G] _ [G#] _
[A] _ [A#] and then I play the melody somewhere on the neck.
[D] Where can I play it?
Okay, [E] I'm going to play [F#] this note.
So, I need to play the melody somewhere here.
I can't play it [E] _ [C] because [F#] _ [E] it's too stretchy.
So, I find a good place, and I play it like this.
[D] _ [E] _
[D] _ _ Okay, that's the melody.
_ [Em] _
It's the first note.
So, I play them at the same [F#] time. _
That's the next [Bm] note.
_ [Em] _ Okay, that's the next [G#] note.
_ That's the next note.
[Am] _
And that's the next note.
So, now I have the whole thing.
I've arranged the first bar, [Em] _ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [G#] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ and I've [Em] practiced that.
[F#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ And the [G] fingerings for it.
[A] Maybe I should use my thumb [Em] like that.
_ [F#] _ _ [Em] Or, _ [F#] _
what's the best way?
I [C] figure it out how it feels on my hands.
[F#] _
_ [Em] _ [E] _ [Am] _ And so far, I've only played it at the same time as the bass, right?
So, this is not too [Em] difficult.
_ [F#] _ [Em] _ _ [G#] _
[Am] _ But _ nobody phrases the song [A] like that, right?
So, after a while, you wanted to phrase it.
You [C] don't want to play it planted and [E] like this. _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ [Fm] _ [Am] It is boring.
So, you want to do something [G] _ like_
You _ _ [F#] _ [Fm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] know?
So, I do that.
I phrase [C#] it.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F#] _
[Gm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ [A] Right?
[E] It's a totally different feel.
So, and I've worked this out really slowly in a way that I [Em] like.
[F#] _ [E] _ _ _ [Am]
And after a while, you don't think about the bass at all.
It's just part of the thumb, [G] and it will be.
Pretty soon, once you play it.
If you [E] play it a lot, it will be pretty soon.
You will feel comfortable with the thumb.
[A] And you can phrase it how you [C] would sing it.
I could _ _
_ _ [E] go_
_ [N] _ _
Or _ [Em] [F#] I [G] _ _ [Am] _
[Cm] can _ [D] _ go_
_ On the syncopation.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[G] _ [D] _ _ [Am] You know what I mean?
So, this is essential to get the song to swing [D] a little bit better.
[G] So, I _ _ got_
[D] _ _
[G] You [Dm] _ [G] _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ [B] _ [Em] _ _ [G]
can [Am] throw in the licks that [A] I've done.
[C] _ _ [F#] _ [G] _
_ [Cm] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ [Am] _ _ _
[C#m] _ [C] _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [F#] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
And now I'm adding [N] things like hitting the guitar like this.
You notice that there's a microphone inside, of course.
So, [G#] when I hit it on two and four, [D] I get that little boom from the amplifier.
This is so small, so you can't really get it here.
But when you have a big PA, you can [Em] feel it in your body.
[D] So, when I hit the guitar, [G] you can hear it.
_ [A] _
[Bm] _ [C] _ [D] And [G] so [A] _ [E] _
[C] _ _ _ [A] _ [G] _ [Am] _ [B] _ _
[F] _ [N] forth.
So, this is essential _ for the independence, you know, when you do that.
So, I would practice
