Start Jamming...
I started out with an intro that goes like this.
Wap, a-bam.
Wap, whack.
Put a hold.
A-bam, deh, gah-gah.
Gah, gah, gah, gah.
Wap.
And then put a hold.
And then start the groove.
Come in with that groove.
Deborah, lay out until [G] I come in with a melody.
And Yasser, you can play like a little [Cm] funky rhythm thing
in G minor.
[G] And [D] I'll play the head.
Whatever that melody was.
I'll make [Ab] something up.
But [D] it'll be close.
I promise, [Abm] Leo.
So [Ab] then I'll play the melody a little bit.
[D] And watch me
put a hold,
modulate down a minor third to [E] E minor.
[Gm] And you take a solo.
And give it a little more.
Bring the [G] dynamic up.
Maybe a little more double [D] bass.
Just grind it a little more.
So Yasser, you play E minor for [B] a while.
And then I'll play a little bit.
Or [Dm] actually, you play, and then we'll play together.
Because I've been playing all night.
[Ab] They want to hear you [G] now.
All right.
So then we'll play a little bit together.
And then watch me for a cue.
Put a hold.
And [D] I'm going to do a little [Bm] funky,
clean rhythm solo or something.
Okay?
And then, actually, when I [B] solo with you,
I'll just use one finger.
Just because it's fun.
[G] All right.
Okay.
So you and I play that rhythm solo together.
Kind of connect with some of the rhythm.
If I go into something [G] kind of weird,
let me [Gb] start it before you jump in.
Okay?
[G] And then watch me for a cue.
Back to the groove of the intro.
And then I'll play a melody.
Yeah, back [N] to the intro groove.
After the cue, after the rhythm solo.
Back to the head.
I'll play a melody.
And then you can play [Ab] a melody with me.
We'll make something up that sounds good in [Bb] harmony.
Okay?
All right.
And then [G] watch me for the end.
And then the big [Gb] cadenza.
And that's it.
Huh?
Just that easy.
[A] All right.
Remember the intro?
[D] Yeah.
[D] Okay.
Back up.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
