Chords for How to play a George Benson Style Lick by Andreas Oberg

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ This is a little breakdown of a lick that was requested in the forums by
Kenard, one of the students of Andreas Guitar Universe. _ _ _
This lick is from my
latest album, My Favorite Guitars, from the first track called Funky Tango, around
2 minutes [G#] and 29 seconds into the song and the chord is A7 or A _ _ flat. _
_ _ _ _ _ And _ the phrase sounds a bit like [F#] this, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ even sweeping it a little bit.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So [A] slowly I'm sliding up here with the first finger _ _ _ to B flat, _ 11th
position second string from A to B flat _ [A#] up to G sharp.
_ You can choose here if you
want [F] to do downstroke.
I mostly I'm [F#] doing up here on _ [A] _ _ [F#] the G flat _ _ _ _ [D#m] and then _ _ B
flat again _ _ _ [F#] A, A flat, G, [F#] G flat, octave.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Again G [F] flat, _ G, [D#m] E, E flat, [D] _
D, [F#] D flat _ [A] _ _ _
and _ D
flat.
So [F#]
and _ [B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ sometimes when I'm playing it really fast like on this song I think
I do _ _ _ something _ [B] like [A#m] this. _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Then I'm doing like _ up, up, so like a sweeping
[D#m] moment, down, _ _ [E] _
three notes in a row down _ [D#m] and [G#m] _ _
[G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ then from this note up and another
up here and I pull [D#] off.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ This is really hard to do slowly but _ [F#m] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [G] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ something like
that.
That's the lick and good luck.
Thank you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

the world sharing the same [Gm] interest and passion for the music and for the guitar
as an instrument.
