Chords for New to R&B Guitar - Get Gone by Ideal Is Perfect for Learning R&B (Song Tutorial)

[Gm] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [G] _ [N] _ _ Hi, it's Keri T.
Smooth and in today's R&B training and [Gb] lesson today we're going to focus
on the song called Get Gone by [Abm] Ideal.
It's one of the basic R&B songs but it provides so much for you when you're really first beginning
to learn how to play R&B and it's going to give you like a really cool insight of how
to play like hammer-ons, also to play house sus chords and also to play minor 7s.
So this song is in Bb major.
If you notice [Ab] anything about me, I'm [N] always trying to associate every song with a major
scale so the way I can make it relative to everything that I do.
[Eb] So this song is in Bb [Bb] major.
_ So _ [C] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Abm]
the first chord in this [Bbm] song is going to be a C minor 7.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ _ We're going to do a small hammer-on. _ _
_ _ We're going to go to a D minor [D] 7, [Dm] _ _
_ _ G minor [Gm] 7, _ _ _ then do a G sus _ [G] and you'll [C] see me do a walk up.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Dm] D minor 7, _ _ [Gm] G.
We're going to do this lick.
[A] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Dm] _
_ [D] Again, I lick [G] this.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ So we're going [B] to do it all in context.
[Cm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Cm] So that hammer-on, _ _ _ we're [Dm] hammering on the B string.
[B] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] Now you'll notice [Bb] that when I do that G minor [G] 11, I'm doing an upstroke.
[Gm] _
_ _ _ Kind of to make the strings kind of pop a little bit.
_ _ [G] I'm really just hitting like the first two strings. _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Em] _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Db] _ [Cm] _ _ [Abm] Now there's a part in the song where it goes to that 4 which is [Bb] that Eb _ major [D] 7.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] So we'll get to that too.
But I want to, as a good exercise when you're working on hammer-ons, is practicing doing
that same hammer-on all the way up to the [Cm] neck _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] [Abm] and so on.
So that way you get kind of familiar with the [E] hand placement, how it feels, how it sounds,
how it resonates so that way that you're not _ like_
So it won't be foreign to you.
[Ab] Pretty much the basic thing about guitar is the more repetition that you can do, the more
[G] muscle memory that you can have [Eb] when you're playing these kind of songs.
So to [Abm] get back to the song, I'm going to show you where we're going to go to that 4.
[Cm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [F] _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[N] Alright, cool.
So now I'm going to kind of show you some pentatonic stuff.
If you're just kind of vibing out and you want to go back and reuse the lesson that
we did last week, the pentatonic scale, we're going to use the G minor [G] pentatonic.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Eb] [Ab] So there's so many things that you can do versus just doing the lick that's [A] in the song.
_ _ And [Abm] that's in the song.
If you have to play the song, as far as playing the record and [G] playing along with the artist,
you definitely want to do that.
But if you're vibing out and you [Bb] just kind of want to create, you can go do stuff off
the pentatonic scale.
_ _ _ So _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [N] _ everything when you're doing that pentatonic scale and you're kind of experimenting, you're
kind of expanding, everything is about timing.
So as long as you get all your licks in within the same timing, that's all that really matters.
_ So again, if you want to practice along with the song, this is ideal.
Get going.
It's a [Abm] great introduction into R&B because the chords are really kind of simple.
But if you just want to kind of like vibe out and experiment with stuff along the pentatonic
scale, if you just want to learn how to solo, soloing in the pentatonic scale is really
cool too because it allows you to have so much depth.
And it's not that difficult for you to really kind of digest and regurgitate.
[Ab] So again, if you enjoyed this lesson, please subscribe, please share, please tell all your
friends about it, please like it.
