_ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Abm] _ [G] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [Db] _ [Dm] Well, one guy, [B] _ it's [Eb] pretty funny because a lot of people say that we have a [G] lot of similarities.
[E] His name is [Dbm] Chalmers Spanky Alford.
And [F] he passed away maybe 2008.
[E] _ But he used to play with D'Angelo.
He did a lot of gospel, _ [Gbm] iconic _ albums.
He would do [Gb] things that was really, [Ebm] really, really, really, really good.
He would take something [E] and stretch [Gm] one chord out.
He'll take a G minor.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ [Bb] I _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ would take [E] that concept and do my own thing with it.
[Bb] So I'd be like, _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
he would do this, _ [G] _ _ [F] or he'd do [B] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [N] whatever.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ He'd do stuff like that.
But a lot of stuff I got concepts from him for my style of playing.
He just had this quartet thing happen.
Oh, speaking of quartet, gospel.
One thing you can [E] learn, they call it a drive when you're getting at the end of the, most
people call it a vamp, but Ed Cortey called it a drive.
_ So they would take, like blues, gospel, some of the same roots.
So you do _ _ this, one, five. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So you have this. _
_ _ _ Always keeping this, you're going to add these notes.
_ _ _ _ Third, five, six.
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ Now this is where the magic happens.
_ _ You practice that. _ _
_ _ _ Start putting the three, six, and the five in it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now a quartet [Db] is a lot faster.
So it's like a_
_ [G] _
_ _ [E] Should be like this. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
You can start using other things that you know.
_ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ All that's a_
[B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] So you take all that together. _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
