[F] Hey, [Eb] what's up you guys?
Marty Schwartz here and I'm gonna give you a [E] classic minor blues lesson [C] right now.
So we'll zoom in, [A] I'll show you the chords [C] and [D] some of the cool little things that happen
in the [Eb] tune.
[C] Also real quick, I appreciate you subscribing to this YouTube channel of mine.
I've got a lot of cool stuff planned.
Can't wait to unveil [Eb] it all to you.
So thank you for the support.
But enough of that, let's zoom in.
We'll break this one down.
Here we go.
Alright, so this is a minor blues and I'm gonna show [Gb] you two different ways to turn
this [G] blues around.
[E] So we're gonna start with an A minor 7 chord, [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [D] which I'm [C] barring on the 5th fret and [Eb] then
my ring finger's on the [Am] 7th of the A.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
_ _ [Dm] _ So, the next [A] chord is a D minor [E] 7 and in [Eb] a minor blues, the [E] I chord's [Eb] minor and the
IV chord's minor.
[E] So a D minor 7 is barred still on the [F] 5th fret, but now my fingers [E] look like an A minor 7 [C] chord.
So [A] it's [Cm] 6th fret on [E] the B [Eb] and 7th fret on the D.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ Back to the A minor [Am] 7.
_ [C] _
_ _ [Am] Then you have [C] the turnaround.
[F] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ And so here's what I mean [A] by the two different turnarounds.
One turnaround is F major or, [Eb] you know, you can play an [F] F7, _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] F major, F7, you know, there's [Eb] some variations.
But basically, an F chord would have the root on the 8th fret of the [F] A string and if you
[E] play F major, then you're barring the 10th fret with your ring finger across the D,
G, [F] and B. _
If you wanna play F7, you [B] could play [Bb] the root [D] and then _ _ 7th fret of D and [Ebm] then
8th fret of G and just [F] those three.
_ _ I tend to play F major.
So here's what I mean by the [Ab] different options.
There's been kind of a handful of different ways that this has [Eb] been played.
So you have the [F] F major. _ _ _
[A] Then one option is E [Em] minor 7, _ _ which is just [Dbm] like D minor 7 but [Em] up a whole step.
_ Back to A minor [Am] 7.
_ _ _ Here we [A] go.
All [E] the way through [Am] that.
Feel it's gone. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Get ready to go to the D minor 7.
Here we [Dm] go.
Feel it's [F] gone.
_ Back to A [Am] minor 7. _ _
_ Now we go to F major, [F] _ _ _ _
[G] E [E] minor 7, [A] back to [Am] A minor 7. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ So the other option [E] is that you could [F] play instead of E minor [Em] 7, _ [D] you could make [E] that
an E major or an E7 or even an [D] E7 sharp 9, [G] _ _ which is great with [Dbm] a minor I chord.
So that [E] would be 7, [D] 6, [C] 7, [G] and [F] 8.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ [F] Or it could [Fm] be F major [E] to E major.
_ [A] _
I [Am] _ _ think the most [F] common way is F major [Em] to E minor, then A minor.
[Eb] _ _
[F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
So there's combinations there.
I want you [F] to be aware of them. _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [E] Nice jazzy sound right there. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ So, [G] _ back to A minor 7.
Now we go to F major 7. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] Alright, there was a lesson.
