Chords for Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways Live Guitar Lesson Intro With Danny Gill

Now we're going to take a look at Parisian walkways,
and we're going to look at the live version.
A lot of similarities between the live version and the studio version.
Biggest difference is there's a lot of extended soloing
during the live version.
We're going to start off by taking a look at the chords
so you'll know why the melodies sound so great, because a lot of times
we're landing on chord tones.
So we're going to need to know the chords.
We're going to start off with an A minor chord.
The song is in 12-8 time.
So you can count 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a.
It's a triplet feel.
So keep that in mind as we're doing the picking pattern.
Here's what the A minor [G] sounds like.
_ [A] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So I just have that 1, [Cm] 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, [E] 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, that rhythm in mind.
So while forming an A minor chord, [A] I'm going to play the open A string.
_ _ And then second fret D, second fret G string. _ _ _ _ _
And now I'm going to back pick the top three strings, E string, B string,
and G string.
So it's going to be the open E string, first fret on the B string,
second fret on the G string.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So those six notes [A] sound like this. _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
And we're going to do that two times. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
That'll [G#] give us a total of 12 eighth notes for one measure, which
is why the song is called 12-8, or why the rhythm is known as 12-8.
All right, so following that measure of A minor,
we're then going to move to a D minor 7 chord.
The chord is formed with the open D string, second fret G string,
first fret B string, [F#] first fret on the high [Dm] E string. _ _ _ _
And the picking pattern, D string, G string, B string, _ _ E string, B string,
G string.
_ _ _ [A] [C#] And repeat those [D] six notes two times.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Now the next chord is a D minor 7 chord with G in the bass.
So just take your third finger, put it on the third fret of the low E string,
and then you have D minor 7 with G in the bass.
The picking pattern is the same, except we're
going to start on the low E string.
It's the same as the D minor 7 picking pattern that we just learned.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
Now we're going to move to a C major 7 chord.
Here we're going to form a C chord shape.
And then if you lift off your first finger, that gives you C major 7.
The picking pattern sounds like this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [C#] _ _
