Chords for Erykah Badu - On and On (Guitar Chords Tutorial)

_ _ Hey everyone, um, I'm gonna show you
A little groove that goes along to the Erica Badu on and on track.
I mean
I'm no jazz expert or chord expert or anything.
So I don't really know
The names or all the different voicings you could use
_ For this groove, but this seems to [B] fit.
I mean, there's this to _
[Bm] _ That's [Gb] the first one _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [G] Yeah, and then the second one
[Am] So _ _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [B] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [B] the first one
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ Some people have played this for the whole piece when I'd like seen some covers of the tune
_ But I'd get a bit bored if I was a company so I just playing those two chords
so that's why I I looked at another tutorial and I had to play on the piano and
That gave me the idea to do the second progression _
Even though I found it quite hard to get all the notes with the like an easy fingering on the guitar
But I think that's well, it's the best I've got maybe you've got some improvements and I'm open to hearing those but for now like
[B] _
Yeah, this is as good as I've got.
So _ _ _
First chord.
We've got first finger on that B _
[Ab] _ Seventh fret E string second finger underneath on that D string
_ Seventh fret third [Em] finger eighth fret on the G string and the fourth finger
_ [A] Same fret on that B string underneath [B] catching that G _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] I'm gonna [Em] goes down to that shape.
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] So second finger on the a on the seventh on the a string on the seventh fret
first finger fifth [Gm] fret D string
[A] third finger seventh fret [G] G string
fourth thing underneath [Em] on that B string, _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [B] so
_ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ [B] Sometimes _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Em] they had a feel like [A] _ _ _
[Em] _ [A] _ _ [B] something like that
_ [Bm] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [B] _ [Bm] _ _ _
[A] _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _ You [E] can figure out your own fills.
I'm no expert in [G] that area [B] either, but
[Bm] _ [C] They're the first two chords I think work well [B] with the groove so
_ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Bm] Okay, [B] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ so after that it does this other sort of progression I got from the
_ [Em] Yeah, the piano tutorial tutorials.
[Bm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ [Bm] _ _ [F] So [Bm] first chord
The same chord we just used after that
_ _ [C]
slide the whole position that the whole
_ Shape down [Dm] to the fifth.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ Sometimes I catch that high a there
_ _ _ [E] _ _
I'm [F] sure you could finger it that way but on [D] a classical [F] guitar.
It's a bit.
_ _ [D] I'm just not used [Am] to it _ _
[F] [C] That shape _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Sometimes [C] _ catching that high E sometimes fingering it like that and getting that high G
I _ _ _ only did this yesterday for the first time so it's still quite fresh, but [Em] _ _ [Gb] it gives you options if [C] you want to try different
_ _ _ _ but the main [F] shape I generally use that second finger on that [Fm] a
_ String third [Em] fret D there.
_ _ Sorry first finger second fret D string fourth finger on that _
On that B [D] on the G string [Ab] [C] second finger underneath on the D [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [N] and then we move the first two fingers down _ _ _ _ _
[B] Yeah, we just move the first two number one and two so two [Bm] second finger goes onto that B
_ Second fret a [Eb] string first finger onto the E flat
[A] _ Third [Ab] finger underneath [B] on that a
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [G] First finger _ _ on that D sometimes going [Eb] up to that E flat there _ [Bm] _ _
[Fm] and I [Em] sometimes catch [Bm] that high G [G] there [B] too
[Bm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [C] _ [Em] _ _ [B] _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [B] _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _
[Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Em] _ [G] Ignore _ [Ab] that last wrong note there, but apart from that that should give you something [Bm] to go on _ _
[Gb] So [Ab] just to recap [B] the first group
[Bm] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ [A] _ [B] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [B] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] How that helps and gives you something to go on in terms of when to change?
I've still not figured that out yet, [Bm] but it doesn't seem to matter too much for my sort of jamming [Em] around with with the song
I guess it will change.
I'm gonna play this with somebody next week.
Then I guess we'll figure out when to [B] change
[F] I don't [Em] know the lyrics enough to tell you when to change [B] so
_ [G] _ But just play around with it and let me know how you get on if that works for you
You've got any better ways of playing it
_ _ Even if that helps you at all that just sounds good to me.
Let me know.
Yeah,
