Chords for Spooky Guitar Lesson

_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] Okay, Spooky by the Classics Four.
[Bb] This was a big hit [Ab] in 1968.
The time signature for the song is [B] 4-4. _
I'm
playing it in [G] the key of F [E] minor.
_ [Gm] Not that many chords [G] in this song.
In fact,
there are only four [Bb] chords.
_ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ F minor _ [Gm]
7th, B flat [B] 13th, _ [C] _
_ a G sharp [B] diminished, _ [Cm] and a
C minor 7th.
_ _ _ [Ab] Those are the only four chords, [G] so the structure of the [Bb] song is
very simple.
_ [G]
The song kicks off with [Fm] these two chords here. _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] That's the [Bb] intro
and the chords are F minor 7th. _ _
If you're not familiar with [B] a minor 7th chord, _ _
[G] play
an A [Gb] minor down here in open [B] position, _ but instead [Ab] of playing it with your
first [Gb] three fingers, play it with [F] your middle ring [Gb] and [G] baby finger. _
[B] Once
you have got your fingers in this position [Ab] here, move all the way up [B] here.
_ _ [E] _ [F] _ _
You notice [Ab] my index [F] finger is on the eighth fret here.
[Fm] _ _ I'm [Bb] only [Am] playing
the [Gb] inner four strings.
[Ab] I have the outer _ [Gm] strings [Fm] muted. _ _
[F] Okay, now lift up your [B] baby
finger [Fm] and _
_ _ _ [C] what you're doing there is you're just playing the [F] seventh.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [E] So
that's a F minor [Fm] 7th. _ _
_ The notes [F] are F, [Cm] C, E [Ebm] flat, and A flat.
[Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
Okay, this chord here
is a B flat [N] 13th.
The notes are B flat _ [G] and that's an A flat [Ab] _ _ _ _ [C] and this is [D] a D and
_ _ [Gm] this note here is a G. _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Em] Okay, when we get to the [Fm] chorus, _ _ _ you hold the [G] F [F] minor twice
[Fm] as long _ and _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
[Em] then you play that B [B] flat _ _ [Bb]
13th.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G] Okay, that's a G sharp [E] diminished
[B] 7th. _
[F] So you have an F, [B] a B, [Dm] a D, _ [G]
and a G [Dbm] sharp.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
And [Gb] then we go back to F minor
[Fm] 7th.
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ Okay, this [F] chord here is a [C] C minor 7th.
Same [G] finger position as the F [Fm] minor
7th.
You [Gb] just move [Cm] down to the third fret.
_ _ [Gb] The notes are [C] C, _ [G] G, a B [Bb] flat, _ and E flat.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [B] And those are all the chords.
[Fm] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ Okay, you notice [A] here I'm playing this a little
bit different [E] and that's a B flat 13th [Bb] like I showed you before.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ To my ear, this
sounds okay. _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[G] And all this is is a G minor and the [Gb] only difference between
the two, [Gm] _ _ you notice I'm doubling up on [Bb] the B flat.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] G, [B] D, _ _ [G] and a [Bb] B flat. _ _
[Eb] So that's a G
[Gm] minor.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
The C [Cm] minor 7th, _ _ _ if you like, you can also play it up here. _ _
_ _ _ C, a [Bb] B flat, [Abm] an E
flat, [Eb] _ and a G.
[G] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ That's one way [C] of playing it.
_ _ [Cm] You have the fifth and the first
string muted. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
That's a B [Fm] flat 13th and _ [Gm] _ _
_ that's a G minor. _
And the only
[G] difference is [Abm] between the two, [Fm] _ these two notes here.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] Okay, [Ab]
that's all for [G] this
lesson.
I hope you [Gb] enjoyed it and [G] thanks for watching.
Bye.
