Chords for 'The Richard Bona Lick' with Scott Devine (L#11)

[N] Hi, this is Scott Devine [Cm] at Scottsbasslessons.com. Check out my [Bb] site for other tutorials and stuff like that.
_ [F] _ A couple of my [B] students have been pestering me [Bb] to transcribe a Richard [A] Bonelick _ that he [Ab] uses in many of his solos.
_ So I [A] have done, and [B] I've shown them what it is, and I thought I'd [G] share it with you guys out there because I expect [F] _ there's a [Ab] lot of guys wanting to know what it is.
So here it is [Bb] anyway. _ _
[N] _ _ [C] I'll do this in the [Bb] key of A minor, but the actual lick itself, because it's really chromatic in [B] nature, he and you, [Bb] if you learn it, can put it within [F] any _ [Ab] harm here, any point [A] really.
Because it's so chromatic and it's based on [N] tritones _ [B] or flat fives, [A] _
you can put it wherever within a [Bb] line.
I'm going to use it within an [C] A minor line, _ _
_ _ _ [Am] like this. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] This is his line.
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That's the line he uses. _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Yeah. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That's that. _ _
_ _ So the line _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ itself, the part that he plays, _ _ _ _ _ that part, _ starting on the D string, _ _ [D] is D _ on the octave, 12th fret, [Db] _ _
_ _ D flat, _ [D] _ _ [Db] _
and then with the little finger, _ [G] _ a G on the 12th fret on the G string. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [G] _ Then the next part, back [C] to the D string, _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ B. _
_ _ [Ab] [B] So in all [D] we've got _ [Db] _
[C] the _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Db] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _
next part, A, [Am] 12th fret [A] on the A string, _ _ [Abm] A flat, _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ D. _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ [D] _ _ There we go.
And again.
And _ [Db] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [C] _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
the next and final part is, [Gm] _
back to the [G] A string, we play a G, _ _ then a tritone from that, flat [Dbm] five, _ a D flat on the D string, [Db] then finally a G on [Gm] the G string, then back down, [Db] _ D flat, _ [G] G.
So the whole little melody there is_
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And then [Bb] he usually follows the line onto something else.
[Db] So he could start it [A] as I did, _ _ [Am] in A minor, [E] just a normal A minor [C] line, or you could go, _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ yeah, [C] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ down [D] to it.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [B] Yeah, you can put it within a line.
In the key of D, it would be_ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ You know, first of all I started on the root, which is the D.
_ [G] _
[B] Or I could start it on the A.
[D] _ _
So [Bb] D, sort of like a groove.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [E] Anyway, so you get what I'm saying.
So hopefully, I'm not meaning it to be any [F] sort of like a _ [Bm]
groundbreaking educational [A] tutorial or anything like that.
I just thought I'd shed a little light [G] on it for you guys out there.
So if you are trying [Ab] to get that lick down or understand what it is, there you go.
[Bb] _ [C] Again, it can [Bb] start on pretty much any [A] degree of a chord.
[Bb] Because it's chromatic [G] in nature, it's just simply used as a chromatic [B] device.
And it's got that out sound _ [E] because of the flat five [Ab] movements within it.
[Db] _
_ _ I really [B] sort of think you should go out there [A] and try and find [Ab] your own versions of that. _ _ _
A lot of the great players have got [G] these little licks that they've got in their playing.
It just so happens that Richard Bonners is really_
everybody's sort of [B] wanting to get that lick down.
[Fm] So yeah, good luck with it and take it easy.
Thanks a lot. _ _ _ _
