Alright, this is a quick tutorial on Al Green's simply beautiful.
Alright, let's get started every single chord
And it's only three chords
is a seven chord
So the three chords that we're playing with today are a D [Dm] minor seven [A] a seven
[Am] then a G seven
[B] and then you got your sevens [C] all over the place when [B] you do the
But [A] I'll [Gb] talk about that later so
[Ab] As I said before first of all is a D minus seven
The way that I would do it is I [Gb] would do it at the fifth fret of the [D] a string
[Db] So what you're gonna do is you're gonna borrow the fifth [C] fret
[Gb] Almost entirely you're not gonna borrow the top string
We don't want to hear that.
Okay, so first finger on the fifth fret
[D] Of the fifth string our ring fingers gonna [B] go on the seventh fret of [A] the fourth string I
[Ab] Remember we are borrowing this so the next string which is the D.
I'm sorry the G string [C] or the third string
Is the fifth fret?
It's because you're borrowing it with the first finger
And [Bb] then finally the second string
[Dbm] I'm gonna [Bb] play on the sixth fret.
Okay with your middle [Dm] finger, so
D minor seven pinkies not doing anything
[Ab] Once again [D] five [F] seven five six
[Dm] [Am] Okay, that's the D minor seven [Ab] the next chord after that is [Bb] the a seven
[A] [Bb] Okay, it's exactly the same shape as the [B] D minor seven except everything is just moved [A] one fret up
[Ab] So to explain [A] that you're gonna borrow the whole fifth fret this time with the D minor seven
We were just [Gb] doing it up to the top string this time.
We're gonna [A] do the whole thing
[Bb] We [Am] got five
[Bb] on the top string
[C] Ring fingers gonna go on the seventh fret of the next string
[E] [Ab] Since we are borrowing it the next string, which is the fourth [G] string
It's gonna be five and then [B] your middle finger is gonna go on the sixth fret of the [Bb] G string this time
Not the B, G [Gb] because everything's moved up one [A] fret
[Db] And once again the pinkies [Gb] not doing anything you just got it out here
[Dm] [A]
So the way those chords go according to the [Dm] song is a how's the words if I gave [A] you my love
I'll tell you [A] what I
Okay, [Ab]
this is where we go to the change
You gotta play a D minor seven
[Dm] [Bb] to a G7
[G]
[C] And then this little trick right here
[Bb] [A]
[Ab] So here we go with that D minor [Dm] seven
Bam right there.
[Ab] The G7 is the same shape as the a7
What you're doing though is you're moving it down two frets
Starting at the third fret.
[B] Okay, so [Dm] D minor 7
[G] G7 [Ab] now hold this seventh shape.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna [B] slide it all the way up to the eighth fret.
Okay
[C]
eighth fret seventh [Bb] fret sixth fret
[A] fifth fret [Db]
and it's all that
[Gb] Kind of dramatic [Bm] thing so D minor [Dm] 7 so [G] [B]
[A] [G] that part will be the
[Bb]
[Dm] [G]
[A] You and I [C] could do this probably wrong [Bm] but then after that is D [Dm] minor 7
[G] G7
And you [A] resolve on the a7
[G] [Bm] [Dm]
[A] [Gbm] You
[Dm] [A] [D]
[G]
[A] [G]
[A] [Ab] That's it that's that's the whole song as far [B] as those little parts
in between
If you're more of an advanced player, all you have to do is just [Db] follow certain notes in the scale
[Dm] so
It's in the a [A] in the a scale
[G] [C]
[D] [Dm] That was an a minor
[A] You could do part of the major scale [D] You
[G]
[A] [Dm]
[G] [A] [D]
[Dm] [A]
[D] [Dm]
[A] [G] [D]
