Chords for Trombone Shorty’s SOLO on St. James Infirmary (Transcription)

What's going on y'all?
Welcome back to the channel.
My name is Cus Campbell.
Today, I'm going to be transcribing [Bb] one of my favorite solos, [Cm] St.
James Infirmary, Trombone Shorty.
I've heard [Ab] it a bunch of times.
[Cm] I've heard it like a million times.
But I've actually never tried to play it.
So this is going to be a good [Bb] test.
Instead of just me playing the transcription and just you can see [Cm] all the notes and all that,
I'm going to kind of show you how I'm going to go about learning it.
And then at the end, I will show you the completed transcription. _
_ [Bb] So it's in F minor.
[D] But you'll never [G] find a hot trombone player like me.
[Db] _ _ _ [Bb] He basically plays an F minor 7 chord starting on C.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ It's almost like a 16th type pattern.
_ _ _ [F] _
And if it helps to play it down the octave, definitely do that too, [N] you know. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's basically like a B flat minor, but he starts on an A.
So he goes that half step up.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Oh, I played the same note [G] twice.
_ _ [E] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ If you're trying to do this solo, it's a very, very tough [Db] solo.
It's very, very high.
If you're young and your range isn't there yet at all, definitely play it down the octave.
So I'll show you kind of like how you can do that.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] So without further ado, I'm going to try to [Eb] play this on the mic,
see if we can get this in [Ab] one take.
