Chords for Antoine Dufour - "These Moments" Ernie Ball Set Me Up Session

_ _ I'm going to play a song called These Moments.
Normally what I do, I try to write a little bit, write like my bass line, my drums or
_ my chords, and then I'll sing a melody on top of, and then I'll make an arrangement
on the tablature, for example, just a very simple [G] on paper, [Gb] just because it's easy.
[Ab] I just write and change fingerings, make [Abm] an arrangement, figure it out,
_ _ eventually [F] try to learn how it goes really slow, like if it was somebody else's music, really.
As far as feeling [Abm] for the tune, I was _ listening to Radiohead, for example,
and so you feel a little bit melancholic, so I got like maybe the end part a little bit from there.
It's a very introspective song.
Something I like to do is to use _ cool tunings, like open tunings.
I'm doing it in [Dbm] C sharp, _ _ _ [Ab] G sharp, E, [E] _ F [Ab] sharp, [Abm] B, _ _ and D sharp.
That's _ [Dbm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ cool, you can just do this, you don't need to write a song, it just sounds good,
so you're over already, it's [Dbm] good.
_ Done.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Gb] I'm using my left hand a lot in that song for tapping the notes, like all [E] _ _
with one hand.
I'm not plucking [Gb] them with the right hand, because my right hand is _ sometimes busy doing
[Abm] percussions, either it could be _ percussions with the fingers like this on the top,
_ some slap harmonics, which I use my index.
[Ebm] Sometimes I use that as a cymbal [Abm] hit or something like that, _ because it has this qualities of bright
and _ shimmery sound, along with a chord, so it could be kind of a little bit of my cymbal hit there.
[Gb] So you have like this. _
_ _ My drum's doing a little fill.
I'm using also _ _ sometimes my palm here to kick on the lower bow, here the [Ab] guitar on the top.
And same with the [Abm] fingers on the side, doing the snappy snare sound here.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
So I'm doing like the kick here.
That's sometimes how I try to think about the percussions on the guitar, like the snares,
kicks, [G] _ [Abm] rim shot, cymbals.
_ [G] _ _ [Abm] And then my left hand [Bb] will [E] do some _ [Ab] _ _
bass parts [E] or chords, [Gb] like _ sometimes I hammer [E] on the chords
like this with [Dbm] one hand just to _ [E] create bass and chords together, [Ab] and the melody also will be on top of that.
So I try to think [Em] where is my drummer, my bass player, [Gb] my piano [B] player, my singer,
and the [Gb] different parts of the song. _ _ _ _ _

[B] I started playing [Gb] guitar when I was 15.
My [Ab] dad _ had [E] a 12-string guitar [B] and an island-string guitar, and he showed [Ab] me a couple of really simple
[Abm] tunes with a couple of chords. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ The first [Eb] very fingerstyle tune I got in is [B] a song by Steve Howe from Yes,
playing a mood [Gb] for a day, which is kind of a classical _ -oriented piece. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ I've been influenced a [Eb] lot by Don [Gb] Ross, actually.
I learned a [B] lot of his tunes, _ _ _ _ [E] maybe [Ebm] 20 songs or something.
So [E] I learned a lot of the techniques out [B] of that, and _ [Gb] gradually I started working on [Ab] my own music,
writing [E] my own stuff.

[E] _ _ [B] _ _ When I try to fit parts together, obviously it's a lot of independence you have,
like all these parts, [E] but at the end I think it becomes just one [Abm] thing.
It's just the way you coordinate all of this [Ab] together.
When I learn it, I try to learn [B] it as one thing, so it's all movements and mechanisms, I [Gb] think,
that kind of fits together.
I could spend a lot of time just [E] learning my parts.
I would have to [Ab] figure out the parts and learn it slow,
and _ [E] go through the whole process of [A] learning it by [Gb] heart, for example,
and try to make it [Abm] to [Gb] the speed slowly.
It takes [Abm] _ weeks sometimes. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [B] I'm not good with words at all.
_ I'll leave that to somebody else.
There are many good people, and you can do [E] great writing, [Abm] great _ words, [E] great lyrics.
I don't consider myself either a guitarist [B] so much.
I don't know all my scales, I don't know all my stuff on the guitar. _ _
_ _ I guess what [Abm] I try to do is really [E] just [B] express myself and create [Abm] something that's a little [E] different.
I don't know, that's [B] just what I feel like _ I do [Abm] the best, so I keep doing that.
