Chords for Holding Back The Years - di Paolo Pilo

_ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hold back vs simply red, a technique I really like to use, although I've maybe done a few
videos this way.
_ _ _ _ _ The pick for now, I hold it in, I hold it like this so I can, _ _ I _ can use it later but
I always have it on me.
The technique is very simple, _ _
_ [Am] just, well, [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[G] _ this is the [C#] intro.
_ I don't, I basically pluck with these [D] fingers and _
[Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[B] basically, _ _ _ _ _ _ I'll explain, I pull up and
then bring the thumb down, making the string ring out, making out, so there [F] is, _ _ _
[D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ I'll [Dm] do
it really slowly and _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
then you can start.
The first chord that's fun to play is this [Dm] one.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ I use this because by just moving my pinky it already gives me the [Dm] melody and [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C#]
then I
keep going to keep the rhythm since I don't have the pick. _
I mean, I don't necessarily need to give it dimension, otherwise the thing just stops.
_ _ [D] _ _ [D] _ _
[B] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] here if you want you can loop it.
[G] _ _ [Em] _ _
I've shown it many [B] times in Gypsy Jazz, you [G] always use this stuff. _
[Dm] It's a way of moving the melody, right? _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ Usually I like to do it with this thing here that serves as a kind of drum kit, let's call
it by tapping on the, _ _ _ _ _ in time, correctly you can [Dm] do it, so.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ But I like tapping like this, I mean it's a slightly different sound for some [Dm] songs,
so. _ _
_ _ And then my usual bass notes, [A] _ _
[G#] _ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] so pam pam.
[G#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[G#] _ [G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
[Am] _ [F] _ _ [G] _ Then the final part.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] I had the pick right here, I'll just grab it easily.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ And then it ends.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
