Chords for Tedeschi Trucks Band Talk About Their Influences

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hey, this is Derek trucks, and I'm Susan Tedeschi and the Tedeschi trucks band and you're watching ultimate classic rock
This is Chris Kissel you're watching ultimate classic rock and we are live at Mountain Jam 2014
I'm here with Derek trucks and [A] Susan Tedeschi of the [E] Tedeschi trucks band guys
It's an honor to be here with thanks for having us so I wanted to start off by asking you of course
It's the you know the buzz of the festival
It's one of the probably one of the last allman brothers concerts
And I you know you guys probably take all the time that you can to work together on your project
Does this mean that you will have more time for the Tedeschi trucks band?
I [Ab] think it'll mean maybe a little [Em] more time to breathe and raise [Gb] our kids
I think we I mean we tore pretty solid with this band already
[Bb] But it'll be nice to to focus on [B] one thing.
I've really [N] never done that so I'm curious _ _ _
So I want to ask you as you have
As you've gone forward in your career, especially like Derek with you and your guitar playing in the
improvisation that you do
_ What?
What of your influences have [Eb] changed over the years like some of your [G] newer influences like people who have [D] kind of steered you in another direction?
[Eb]
And you're constantly listening
I think a lot of [E] times you're going back to some of the original wells that you you draw from sometimes you
You listen to so much stuff you [Bb] forget
_ [N] First movie so I think when you ever get you ever get stagnant you you go back and listen
[Bm] There's so much great music.
I can't say there's a ton of current things that I'm [C] but I'm loving
I mean there there
We see people all the time that [Bb] we love like bands like the London souls or scrap-o-matic or the wood brothers or [F] people that I feel
That are doing doing it, right?
But a lot of times I'll go back in
You know if I get worn out hearing guitar players
I'll go listen to Freddie [Bb] King and Albert King for a while and you're like, that's [C] that's why it's okay to play guitar
[Ab] You remember where it came from?
I think it's the same with Susan, you know
[E] _ _ _
Susan you're singing
Has always reminded me of Mahalia Jackson
In this like very deep
Gospel soul kind of [F] sense
So I would like to request at some future show that you guys would play didn't it rain?
Because I think that the band would kill it
_ [N] _ _ _ _
_ I
_ Love Mahalia, she's actually one of my all-time favorite singers.
Really?
Absolutely
_ Yeah, actually the reason we probably started dating is because I knew who Mahalia Jackson was
Derek's like what you do like yes, of course
But you know, I'm you know
It goes back to the original people that I first heard before Mahalia with people like Aretha
Of course who were more mainstream and then I discovered Mahalia
_ _ You know people like Sam cook, you know
Maybe you get turned on to first and then all of a sudden you realize they're all these amazing [E] great gospel singers
But yeah, I dig into that stuff all the time.
It's great
clear _ award I
think there's always been a
very diverse set of regional influences in your music to
You know, you've had Middle Eastern tinge songs and I think looking at different scales and modes in the way that you play and you
know obviously [G] southern blues, but a lot of
African [Em] rhythms and things like that
[Eb] As you've traveled around [E] places that you played are there any places that you've been?
That just [Em] have this like unique musicality to it where [D] you leave and you feel like you picked up something from it.
[N] You know, I
Feel like most of most of that has been through just [B] listening through regions
[N] _
Unfortunately this day and age you go to a lot of places and it's kind of all the same crap
Electronic music everywhere.
It's kind of hard to dig through that layer when you're only there for a bit
I mean there's there's certainly places that you obviously [Abm] feel the
Music that's there [N] like whenever you're in New Orleans
You can't help but hear that sound and feel that we were just in India and there's certainly
You certainly come away with with a bit of that.
I want to go and spend more time.
I think it'll be even stronger
_ _ Cuba's another one
Certainly when you're when you're in South America or Central America when you're there at all you you pick up on those sounds
We're constantly listening and searching but I think unfortunately, especially when you travel throughout
Europe places where I would hope to get more
Traditional music or music that's that's from that place.
It's seems like every place you walk by it's the same awful sound
Yeah, I've tried but it doesn't work for me _ _ _ _
