_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ Hi _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _
guys, how's it going today?
I'm Robert from Dolphin Street. _
Today I want to show you a cool John Scofield style lick.
And we're going to play this over a C [C] minor progression.
Or it's not a progression, basically.
It's just a static chord.
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [F] C minor 7, or C minor.
[Ab] _ _ [G] And the lick sounds like this.
_ [Fm] _ _ [Abm] _ _ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So let's take a closer look on the fretboard to see how we play this.
_ So the first part of the lick sounds like this.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [D] And this is the _ 13th fret and the 10th fret.
I'm starting with my pinky and do a pull-off.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
And [Ab] then I'm using the same frets but now on the G string.
And I do a pull-off here as well.
[Fm] _ _ _ _
This is a very [Abm] common Scofield idea.
He uses this [G] quite a bit in his playing.
And [F] so do I, as a [Gb] matter of fact.
I think it's a really cool [C] little _ pattern for your fingers.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ And then after that, we have our finger here on the G string, [G] on the 10th fret.
And I'll kind of roll [E] it over to the D string.
[C] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] And I pick the first note and do a slide down [G] to the 9th fret.
[D] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [B] And after that, _ [Ab] I'm using my pinky here up on the 14th fret on the G string.
_ And I pick the first note and [G] slide down to the 12th fret.
[D] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Ab] And then middle of finger on the 10th fret, [Gb] pick that note. _
And do a pull-off down to [F] the 8th fret.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[G] So then we _ get_
[Gm] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Abm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
And [C] then the last part is like this.
_ _ [Fm] _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ 10th fret on [Gb] the D string.
_ Really short, almost like a ghost note.
And then switch strings to the G [C] string.
_ [F] _ And here a pull-off.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
Down to the 8th fret.
[A] And then I do a slide [G] up with my pinky up to the 12th fret, also on the G string. _
_ _ And then [F] ending the whole phrase on the D string on the 8th [Bb] fret. _ _ _ _
Scofield [G] often does a slide down [E] when he ends a note.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] Like that. _
_ _ Okay, so that's the whole lick right [Bb] there.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ Okay, so let's try and play this one more time really slow.
_ And see if [E] we can do this.
_ _ [B] _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Abm] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ A little bit faster. _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [Abm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [D] _ _
So there you go, a Scofield lick for you.
