Chords for Esperanza Spalding I can't help it Tutorial

_ Hey everyone!
_ This time I want to take a closer look at
I Can't Help It
by Esperanza Spalding
which is one of the most beautiful
basslines created ever
for this most beautiful instrument _
and I'm going to
take a closer look at the verse and
the chorus and the notes that are
involved.
I won't go
into the rhythm because that's very complicated
and I think you have to figure that out
for yourself by playing along to the
slowed down version of the
verse and the chorus.
They're going to
come later in the video.
Right now I just want to talk about
what you actually have to play
in the verse.
_ Which is
there's a lot of stops
in the beginning and then there are
some chromatic runs.
The stops. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, that's basically it.
So it starts with a _ on A
_ A flat.
Here comes the run
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[B] _ _ [Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] B flat
_ [N]
C sharp
_ _ D sharp _ _
E F sharp G sharp A _ G
_ _ _ _ _ _ That's about the verse.
She repeats that
with some variations
_ and then she goes into the chorus
which is a funny little thing
_ _ because
the core chords of this are _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ G _ _ _ sharp _ _
F sharp _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ E _ _ played in
sort of the following manners.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So
what she basically does is she adds some
octaves and some ghost notes in the right hand
_ like this
_ octave _ _
_ _ _ _ another _ _ _ _ _ _ _ octave _
_ _ _ _ _ _ one
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
final note in case you're wondering
this is a five string bass but I string it
[G] E A D [C] G C [G] So
you can basically treat this like
a four string bass.
So
this is your E string, the deep one
and _ well, I hope
[Gb] this works for you.
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Gb] _ [B] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I [D] can't [G] help myself
_ What's _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ looking in my [Eb] mirror
_ _ _ _ [B] _
Don't be by [Eb] _ surprise _ _
_ _ [Fm] I can't [C] help but see [Fm] you
_ _ [Abm] _ Running left and right
in my _ [Gb] _ [A] _ mind
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [C] You
_ [Abm] & me
[B] Getting better [Eb] all the time
But I can't [B] help it
If I wanted to I wouldn't help it
Even [Ab] if I could
I can't help it
[Gbm] If I wanted to I wouldn't help it [Bm] No
I [Eb] can't help it
If I [Gbm] wanted to I wouldn't help it
[Dbm] Even if I could
[Eb] I can't [B] help it
If I wanted to I [Gbm] wouldn't help it [Ab] No
[Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ _
