Chords for How to pump like Richard Tee - Prof G

_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ Hello, [Db] I'm Professor Goss with [Bm] tonight's lecture, How to Pump [Db] Like Richard T.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ A lot of piano players play with the tips of [N] their fingers.
In order to play like this, you've got to use your whole body.
You've got to groove.
Let's take a closer look, shall we?
_ _ One, two, three, four.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ F, Bb, D, _ and the thumb and index finger are going to [Gm] move _ _ _ up and down [F] from the F [Ab] to the
G to the Ab, and back down.
Three, four. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] Once you've got that, the left hand is going to play Bb octaves in all the gaps.
So like this.
Three, four. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The left hand by itself, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ two, three, four. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The way to switch up the rhythm is have the right hand or the left hand double _ one time,
and it'll switch everything so that whatever was a downbeat is now an upbeat, like this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You want to be able to do it really at any point in the beat, any point in the measure.
You want to be able to double one up and just get used to turning yourself around, turning
the offbeats and onbeats around between the hands. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] That thing I'm throwing in there is a _ G and a Db.
Db, Db, Db, Db, Db, [Bb] Db. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] So the next step is to start throwing in embellishments, and really the sky's the limit, but some of
the ones that Mr.
Richard Key would use are like [G] this.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [G] _
It's kind of, it's a G, he's doing a walk up from [Ab] G7, Ab7, [A] [Bb] A7, up [G] to Bb, and the rhythm
is one, two, three, four.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
Same rhythm, different notes. _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] [Eb] Ab major, Bb [Bb] major, Bb major. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
The next step after that is to add chord progressions, and really the only important thing there
is to make sure all the chords have some part that can move, like some note in it. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Db] So usually it's the top note, _
[Eb] _ _ or the top two notes.
Instead of doing chords, sometimes he would switch between chords and [Bb] octaves, like this. _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ Yeah, here's one that he used in Strokin, and I also used part of this in _ Sankt Tichai. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [A] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
