_ Happy New Year everybody.
It is January the 1st and I'm working because it's number one day of the year
We're gonna do a video of looking out for number one
There's been several guys on YouTube trying to show how to play it and they're kind of right, but they're kind of off
This is the original way.
I did it.
It's pretty simple
_ I'm gonna do it real slow and then I'll just play it in time at first.
I'm going to show you the main position
You _ have to use your thumb on your left hand put it over on the guitar.
It plays the bass notes
You cannot play this song in the old way of a bar chord
So put your hand like this put it like right there and your thumb goes over and plays
_ first chord F
Minor seventh, but you're only playing on your low E string your D string and [A] your G string
So [Gb] it's right across the second fret
String six [E] string four [Gbm] string three, so it's
_ _ [A] _ F minor seventh _
Move your thumb and your first finger [Db] to the first [F] fret
_ [Eb] That's an F seventh _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ open _ _ _ and then an A _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] Sometimes I hit the E [A] open it.
[Gb] _
They open heat that's drink sauce
_ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
Just great
_ _ [E] _ Any of those strings if you hear the record by BTO, it's I'm hitting all those strings _
[A] So that's the beginning _ you slide [Ab] up.
That's a [Gbm] important progression
_ [F] _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ Because in the solo and in between the verses I do that.
[Am] I also go up to the fifth fret and do the same [Ab] thing
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] So there it's a minor seventh [Ab] a flat seventh
_ [C] G seventh with sus four on there _ and a C _
[Am] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
for those [Gbm] solo back
[F] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Ab] That's the intro in between and that's the courses [A] I found out every trick in the book _
_ Now that [Bm] ends with _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[B] Which is I don't even know what this chord [Bm] is called _ _ _
_ _ It's kind of a B minor seventh with an E
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
B on the bottom your thumb goes [Bb] down one to be flat
_ That's an E seventh and then [Dbm] it goes to a major [A] seventh _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
Now the main meat of the song the verses it's from an old jazz ending
_ Called a coda [Abm] that Lenny bro taught me that [A] goes
_ [Bb] _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _
[Gm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[A] So I just went [E] which is an a [A] chord _
[E] again played on [A] the inside four strings _ _ _
[B] thumb [A] on the B _ _ _ _
_ _ _ thumb goes [Dbm] down one _
a major seventh
[Bbm] with a B flat a
_ _ [Ab] minus [Am] seventh _ _
_ So [Ab] this your thumb is walking [A] down _
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ That's on an a flat.
It's on a G
on the [Gbm] F sharp [F] F
F major [Em] seventh G six
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ [E] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Am] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] _ _ [E] _ [F] _ _ [G] There's [Abm] an easy cheat on this [A] because you notice the top note is the same
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ [E] _ I
Was trying to write a one-note song.
Well, you know, that's [Em] great song that goes
_ [Eb] _
_ _ [D] _ [Abm] Kind of that thing
[A] So I had the E on [E] top so you can play the E or you can just do an open E string
So it's really easy if you just want to use do this song with three [B] strings
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Bb] So now that's kind of the [E] song
_ We're putting also diagrams with these chords up on this video when it's done so you can see [Em] them
_ And I'll just play [Gb] you a little bit of the song _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[E] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[G] Then _ [Gbm] you find [F] out
[A] Every trick in the book [Gb] and that there's [F] only one [E] way to [A] get me done [Gb] you find [F] out
the [A] only way to
Get out _
I [Ab] mean [E] you [A] keep looking _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
That's the whole song and then the ending you do it in jazz
[B] Time
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ [Bbm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Then you make up your [A] own solo anything about these these chords
_ I've [Ab] done this song with many other guitar [A] players and over this _
You can play a sharp minor _ _
[E] _ _ [Am] lose progression or an A
[C] _ _
[A] _ It all kind of fits over those chords [Ab] oddly, but kind of coolly [C] and even when you go to this
You can also [Am] play it over a C
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ Many positions are F sharp [Am] second fret your fifth fret [Cm] your a or your eighth fret you see you can play
[D] _ _ [N] Any jazz run you want or any pentonic blues scale that you want fits over those
_ Very well _
