_ [A#m] _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ [F#] _
[C#] Hi everybody, [D#m] my name is Cece and we [C#] are the House Brand Band. _ _ _
[A#m] This is the music we tighten up with.
[D#] _
_ _ Hi there, my name is Dave, I'm the lead guitarist for House Brand Band.
And I'm going to show you the [F#] song we use to introduce the night, introduce the band.
We use it as a break song.
It's called Tighten Up.
_ Tighten Up is in the key of F sharp, _ but it's F sharp major 7.
_ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [B] B, _ _ _ D major 7.
_ _ _ [A#m] And it goes like this, rest. _ _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] That's the basic chords.
Now the bass riff in it is very simple.
F sharp.
_ [A#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [A#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
We do it a little different than that.
It's evolved over the years, but pay no attention to that.
This is the basic bass riff.
_ F sharp, G sharp slide [A#] to A sharp, _ [C#] C sharp, _ [D#] _ _ _ [D#m] up to F sharp.
[F#] _
_ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ Alright, [E] now [F#] it's F sharp. _
[E] Here's your F sharp chord. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ [G] _
Flat the [F] F sharp at the top.
[F#] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] B, _ _ flat the B at the top.
_ _ [D#m]
B flat.
_ _ [A#m] Alright. _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Now here we go, [F#m] the horns.
_ [D#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
[F#] Okay.
_ _ _ _ 9th fret, 1st [C#m] string, C sharp.
_ 7th fret, 2nd [F#m] string, F sharp.
_ _ _ Take it down [D#] 3 steps.
_ _ _ 6th fret, 1st string, 4th fret, D sharp.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Regular F sharp. _
_ _ _ _ [A] A.
_ [G#] _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _
_ [F#] _ [D#] _ _ _ _ Okay, let me go over that guitar part again, the horns.
If you're the guitar player and there's no horns in the group, you'll need to do, now [F#] make it mellow.
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [D#m] _ _ [F#m] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#] _
You end up on the 4th fret of the 2nd string, E flat. _ _
3rd fret of the [A#] 3rd string, [D#m] E flat.
_ Kind of like a _ F sharp 6.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
_ Now make it mellow.
_ [A] _ _ [F#] _
[D] Now make [F#] it mellow.
_ [A] _ _ [A#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A#m] Alright, now you're going to listen to Housebrand Band, the version we do, and how we introduce our group.
My wife does the _ talk over while we're playing. _
Introduces the group to tighten up, it gets everybody going at the beginning.
We also use the song to do a break.
When we go on break, we do come out with a little, _ _ _ _ _
_ Alright, we're going to [F#] take a short break, you know, blah, blah.
It's a great song to do.
I've been using it for 40 years, so good luck with it.
Thank you.
