Chords for Jimmy Herring On Unorthodox Playing

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ You _ can't bend down like _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] that.
Put three fingers on it and _ then_
When _ _ you watch a black belt play_
_ [F] _ I can't do it. _
You know what I mean?
Or BB [Ab] bends down.
Oh yeah, well _ sometimes_
[E] That was [Bm] so good. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
[Bm] _ Like that.
He's a genius. _ _
[N] _ _ But what was I saying?
Oh yeah, then watch a black belt.
I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ thinking about_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Like if you had a_
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ So there's [Db] no six.
You have one, [E] two, five, three, four, [Gbm] five,
flat [Ab] seven.
No six.
So we'll [G] leave the six at that. _ _ _
_ [D] Or _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ something like that.
Where [Bb] it's not the same thing.
You can practice it the same way. _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
Those are _ [Em] four communicable ideas.
You just take a scale
and _ [B] play fourth intervals.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] I think about these _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Dm] intervals.
_ I see the intervals like this.
_ [Bm] _ _ I might try to play them
[Bm] as double stops.
That's one way.
Another way would be to play [G] them as [Dm] single notes.
_ _ _ _ _ Like [E] that.
And once you see the whole scale_
I [Gb] mean, the Hall Brothers made a really big sound [D] with this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ And you can use those shapes.
_ _ [A] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ And then you can take those kind of intervals
through other sounds.
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [B] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Am] _ _
[B] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ Anyway, you've heard all that stuff.
But the idea with that is
_ you [Ab] can keep doing that with different intervals.
Here's this.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[B] _ _ Things like [Ab] that. _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Eb] Sometimes I'll try to do chromatic things.
[E] You know, if I was playing D minor
_ in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] a chromatic [Bm] scale.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Abm] And just have fun.
_ [Db] _ [E] If you go_ _ _
[D] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] Here's the scale.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[A] It might help.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ You know, _ there's so many of them.
Everybody does these, right?
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ The notes are really useful.
[Ab] _ _ But I might try
to [A] change the accent points.
Instead of _ going_ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] Like _ _ _ [Gb] _
[B] that.
I might [A] _ go_ _ _ _ _
[D] Maybe put an accent on the fourth note
of every four.
Or you could [Eb] just think of it as three notes
are a [Eb] pickup to the one.
_ [E] _ [D] One.
That would be one.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Eb] Maybe break it up harmonically
so you don't just stay in one scale
the whole time. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Am] _ _ [B] I might [Em] take the fourth
and [G] mess around with the fourth a little bit.
_ _ [E] _
[Gb] Like bring it up an aspect.
You know, give it a mixolydian shot or something.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[C] _ Really, to me that's just [Em] mixolydian.
It's the same thing [Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ as_
You know, still [D] from her.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Good question. _ _
