Okay, here is the video I should have made a long time ago.
This is a quickie.
I'm going to do a more studio kind of thing.
Let me get this one out.
In the chord, the swing chord thing, we have a [Em] G6 chord.
[G] G [E] note.
E.
[G] We're not [C] playing the fifth or the first string.
[Bbm] It would be [G] fifth.
The next chord form is a G6 also.
[B] We're playing a B on the [G] bottom.
G, [Em] E.
[C]
The bar [E] goes to three.
And you have [G] a D note here.
[C]
[G] And a B on the bottom.
Both these chords have G, B, E, D.
G,
[Bm] G, D, B.
[E] And I E noted it.
[G]
[B] This time I had the B on the [E] bottom.
That would have [G] a wall.
So it's G6, G6.
Now, this is that same shape for the first chord.
The G.
But now we're at a C note.
[C] That's the root there.
[Am]
[E] Diminished where I'm playing.
[Dbm]
[Eb] I'm barring these three.
[E] But adding that sharp in the [Db] middle.
[E]
So a lot like this chord.
[Db] [Eb]
[A]
Except I'm putting the note, [Bb] not this [E] note, [Db] on the bottom.
[Em]
So to review, we've got G.
[G] [Em]
[C] C [Db] diminished.
[G] Okay, back to G.
Now G sharp diminished.
That's that same [A] shape we used up [Abm] high.
[Ab] And A minor seventh, which is you're barring [C] these three.
[Am]
First, if you wanted, I usually don't.
I put an A on the bottom.
[C] So [G] I'm going to do G, [Ab] G sharp, [Am] [C] A minor seventh, then [D] D9.
[C]
[Ab] Which is not that much different than the A minor seventh.
I move everything over one string and hold down [D] the
[Am] Do [D]
[G] [Am]
[Dbm] [Em] [F] [C]
[Am] [G] the first one again.
[Am] [Dbm] Now we go to [D] D7.
[B] It's just like the D6.
[Ab] Except that [D]
finger
You can [E] slide it in there if you [D] want.
[Am] But we're getting this note.
[B] Instead of that note.
I usually [D] switch fingers.
[G] Okay, so we have G, G, [C] C, [Dbm] C sharp diminished, [D] D7.
Then I go down to this D7.
Which is just like, you know how you make a C chord.
You put your little finger down and make a 7.
Same thing.
[A] Play [Am] the root.
[Ab] Now lower it.
[Em]
All in context.
[B] [G] [C] [Am] [Dbm]
[Em] [Abm] [Am] [D]
[G] [C] [Dbm]
[D] [Am] [Ab]
[Em] Maybe I'm lucky here.
I do [D] this D7.
[Gb] I go [Gbm] D7 with the A on the root.
[Ab] [G]
[C] [Dbm] [Em] [Abm] [A]
[G] [Am] [Dbm] [D]
[Ab] [G]
[Am] [Bb] [Em] [Abm] [C]
[G] [Am] [Bb] [D]
[G] And the main thing we're trying to get [C] [Db] [G] [Ab] [D]
[G] [Bm] is
[C] [Db] [D] We're [Ab]
[G] trying to play that bass line.
[C] [Dbm]
[G] [Ab] [Am] [D] [G]
[C] [Dbm] [D]
[Ab] [Em] [G] There's other ways to do this, but this gets you started.
And it can be done open.
[C] [Dbm]
[G] [Am] [D] [G]
[C] [Dbm] [D]
[G]
[E] Quite often you'll see this done in the key of A.
[Gbm] Same thing.
[A]
[Bm] [C] [Gbm] [G]
[Bm] [E] A little [A] higher.
[Bm]
[C] [Ab]
[A] Except we're just holding A chord.
[D] [A] [Bb]
[B] [E] [A] [G] [Eb]
[E] [Gb] [Ab] [A]
First one.
[D] [A] [Bb]
[B] D7.
[E]
D.
[A] [D] [Eb] [E]
[Abm] [A]
So, I don't think there's much stuff to do.
There's other walks we'll get with those.
[G] We'll take a C chord.
[C] C shape.
Make it like an A minor and add this.
That's a C6.
Different voicing but the same point of
[Gb] [G] [F] [C]
[Cm] [D] [Ab] [G]
[A] [G] [C] [Dbm]
[G] [D] [Em] [D]
[Em] [Cm] [D] [Ab] [Em]
[G] So, let's see what we've got.
[Dbm] [D] [G]
Walk down.
[F] [C] [Eb] [A] [D]
[Ab] [G] And Mr.
Goodintention here has been meaning to write about 10 or 15 different variations of this.
So, I've already learned.
Here I do [Em] a
There is a G9.
[B]
So, D, F, A, E.
[G] [Bm] [C] [Bbm]
[G] [Abm] [Am] [D] [G] [Bm]
[C] [Dbm] [D] [Ab] [G]
[C]
[G] And then I do a D7.
Okay, I hope that gives you some stuff.
Sorry it took me so [N] long.
This is a quickie.
I'm going to do a more studio kind of thing.
Let me get this one out.
In the chord, the swing chord thing, we have a [Em] G6 chord.
[G] G [E] note.
E.
[G] We're not [C] playing the fifth or the first string.
[Bbm] It would be [G] fifth.
The next chord form is a G6 also.
[B] We're playing a B on the [G] bottom.
G, [Em] E.
[C]
The bar [E] goes to three.
And you have [G] a D note here.
[C]
[G] And a B on the bottom.
Both these chords have G, B, E, D.
G,
[Bm] G, D, B.
[E] And I E noted it.
[G]
[B] This time I had the B on the [E] bottom.
That would have [G] a wall.
So it's G6, G6.
Now, this is that same shape for the first chord.
The G.
But now we're at a C note.
[C] That's the root there.
[Am]
[E] Diminished where I'm playing.
[Dbm]
[Eb] I'm barring these three.
[E] But adding that sharp in the [Db] middle.
[E]
So a lot like this chord.
[Db] [Eb]
[A]
Except I'm putting the note, [Bb] not this [E] note, [Db] on the bottom.
[Em]
So to review, we've got G.
[G] [Em]
[C] C [Db] diminished.
[G] Okay, back to G.
Now G sharp diminished.
That's that same [A] shape we used up [Abm] high.
[Ab] And A minor seventh, which is you're barring [C] these three.
[Am]
First, if you wanted, I usually don't.
I put an A on the bottom.
[C] So [G] I'm going to do G, [Ab] G sharp, [Am] [C] A minor seventh, then [D] D9.

[Am] [Dbm] Now we go to [D] D7.
[B] It's just like the D6.
[Ab] Except that [D]

You can [E] slide it in there if you [D] want.
[Am] But we're getting this note.
[B] Instead of that note.
