How to Play 'Soul Man' Sam & Dave chords
Start Jamming...
Hi, how are you?
Here's soul man.
I'll do this slowly
I'm gonna play along with this, but let me explain the sections first it starts with
[G] [Bb]
[C] [D]
So those [Bb] are double stops two notes played simultaneously
[Bm] Starting on the 12th fret I'm using this fingering is whatever fingering you want
And then from the 12th fret to the [Am] 10th fret and [Bb] up to the 15
[Em]
17 [Ab] and then 19
Then you get the horn line
[Em] [B] Right and then you get the signature guitar [G] lick
And that is a G to an [Am] A minor
to [G] another G
[Bm] And it's helpful to put that little B flat to B hammer on [C] here to give it that little [Gb] extra
spice
[E]
[G] And you can play
You
[Eb] [N] can play it there as well, [G] and there's the G.
There's [Am] the A minor
And [G] then there's the G again if you're gonna play it this way [N] though.
Don't play this B note
Just play this [G] G right here, which is equivalent to
Right and you might want to get the little hammer on here
[D] Right and then you get [Eb] the [G] [C] stop
Horn line and that is a C to an E flat to an [B] E
to a G and then a
D
[Eb]
And then the B section
grab a rope
That's an E flat.
[Bb] I'll pull you in that's a B flat and then a [C] C give you hope and
Be [D] your only boyfriend a [Db] yeah
And this chord right here is a
[Gb] D skip a string and mute it a [N] C a
E and a [C] G
[Gb] it's a
common get back quarter of five chord and
In the high catalog go wax [D] tax day car soul music
Check out how nice this G sounds [G] now
So [Ab] it takes the place of a D or a D 7 or a [C] D 9
Makes it that [B] gives it that unique sound as it's got the
Suspended fourth in there G, which [Db] is C
[D]
Now because this song modulates the last chord in that sequence in the B section goes up a half step the song modulates up a half step
to G sharp
[Eb] [F] and then [Dbm] the
[Ab] Intro again instead of the 12th fret starts at the 13th
Everything stays [Gb] the same and then the lick instead of being in G [N] is now in G sharp
And the lick is played in G sharp
Play along with this
[G] [F]
[Bb] [C]
[G]
Oh
[F]
[G]
[F]
[G] [C] [D]
[G]
[F]
[G] And then back to a G that's all in G still G
[F] Oh
[G] [C]
[G]
[F]
[G]
[F]
[G] [C]
[Eb] [Bb]
[C]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Gb] [B]
[Db] [Eb] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[N]
It's ready to get a follow in Europe follow them to unbelievable women and then he did it and he did it
I mean my god, I hope this helps and
You got it, right?
[Em] Sure.
You do.
Thanks for [N] watching
