Chords for Tony McAlpine Arpreggios

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
If I'm going to just [Db] work with exercises, I'm just going to do this chromatic thing
that I like.
[C] I'll just go up.
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Gbm] _ _
It's OK.
[Em] _ _ _ [E] It's all good. _
[Dbm] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] I'll just go up and down the neck with that particular [Em] idea.
_ _ _ _ Or this flat 5 thing that I do all over.
_ It's like a half diminished note.
_ And I basically sequence the idea _ [B] _
into, _ [C] you know, I basically move it through [Db] octaves. Right.
This is a simple kind of, some sort [Ab] of _ _ niche [Gb] idea.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] A lot of times people see my finger there and they think that [C] _ _ [E] _ I'm pulling off on all the strings.
Yeah.
[Am] But I'm using [G] really a lot of just a lot of hammering.
A lot of [A]
being able to play.
_ _ [Dm] _ You have a picture of that.
[D] Yeah.
It's like a [C] low-key half-harpsichord.
Yeah.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ This [B] basically tells whatever note you want.
Yeah.
[Bb] _ [Ab] It wants to be an octave or a B flat.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ Or an octave lower. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Or what you think in terms [D] of, _ _ you know, intervals.
Right.
In harmony.
Yeah.
When I [Ab] like to play like a Gibbs harmony.
Yeah.
I like to think, for instance, like if I was [A] playing in the key of A minor. _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] I like to think in terms of [N] A minor, I like to influence like sevens. _
Right.
Like a C major seven over the A minor. Yeah.
_ _ [F]
And that helps me a lot with [C] the C, B, G, and B.
And think of it in terms of a C major seven.
And I'm not thinking about it.
And I can move it through. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It's an octave lower. _ _ _
_ Some days cleaner than others. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
We [E] don't want to make that.
[Ebm] Yeah.
[B] I'm picking with it at the same time [Eb] sometimes.
Yeah.
And sometimes [A] just raking it.
_ Or [E] sneaking.
Yeah.
A lot of little [A] tricks. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] That would be _
[A] A major. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] C sharp, E, A, C sharp.
I may have to play the C sharp here.
[A] _ _ [B] _ That's too C sharp, Joe.
_ _ It's like a smooth transition. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ To concentrate with some of the picking ideas.
I've talked about them for years.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [E] Let's move it down chromatically.
A warm up there.
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ [G] With no real [Ab] _ tonality.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
How does it feel so loud?
I can _ [B] _
[Gm] get a smooth, round sound.
I think that pretty much is a ballpark of what I'm trying to do.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
That's how I play minor scales [E] or any of the scales.
I always slide on the whole.
_ _ [N] A to B would be a whole step.
I slide one finger over.
So that I end up moving across them.
_ [F] _ I _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ hardly ever play scales so they get [B] better like that. _
