Chords for Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man Bass Tab Preview

How's it going?
It's Jeff from Jeffrey-Thomas.com and I'm going to [G] go ahead and preview some
of the examples I have for my bass tab on Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Let's walk through
the intro.
I'll play verse 1, verse 2, and then we'll go to example number 5 and I'll
show some cool chords that you can use to play through the tune.
Alright, nice and slow
from the intro.
1, 2, [A] 3, 4, [C] and 1, _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ 3, _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ 3, verse 1, _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ 3, [Bm] 4, and [A] 1, _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] verse 2.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [N] _
So, this tune is
basically C, G, and A minor over and [F#] over and over and over again for days.
So for example,
if you were to play the most simple bass line for this, it would be [C] 1, 2, 3, [Gm] 4, 1, 2, 3, [A] 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
That was just root notes.
[G#] C, G, [N] and then _ A minor twice.
_ _ _ For the intro section, _ he's actually
playing through the licks that I have all the way into using some of the verses for
the [F] intro as well.
Like I said, it's highly repetitive.
The tune is C, G, [F#] and A minor
for two measures. _
[A] So, there is a couple other examples on this worksheet.
There's a cue
lick, which is number 3, and [D#] then I also have the [A] chorus for you, [F#] which is example number
4.
But here's example number 5 that I was talking about for the chords.
So, [C] here's a
C chord, _ _ _ _ [G] and then I have G over D, _ _ _ _ and [Am] then A minor like this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So, in the [Em] tune, it would
be 1, 2, 3, [G] 4, _ 1, 2, 3, 4, [Am] 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
[C] Just in case you wanted to get your
hands on some chords that you could play to break it up a little bit, like maybe when
the guitar player is taking a [A] solo.
[N] Sounds nice.
And then on the worksheet, you'll also
see all five pentatonic patterns for C major and A minor, which are very cool for having
you come up with your own solos and licks.
So, for example, here's [C#m] pattern number 1.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[G] And all five of the pentatonic patterns are mapped out for this key.
So, hopefully that's
a good start for you to be able to learn to play the tune.
