Extreme Smooth [D] Jazz [Em] Makeover!
Hi, I'm internet ethnomusicologist, Corey Wong.
I hired a [D] click farm to find Facebook's Al Gore rhythm
on [Em] how to get in front of the smooth jazz crowd.
We were able to hack the mainframe
and discover the top three ways
to become [E] a chart-topping smooth jazz [G] artist
in the age of the internet.
[C] Step number one, the [F] mustache.
All [Am] of the highest caliber smooth jazz [F#m] musicians
have had some sort of mustache throughout their career.
You look at everyone [A] from Coz to [Am] Sanborn,
Marcus Miller, Nathan East, the list goes on.
[D] Bottom line is, the mustache pushes product out the door
[G] and [C] on the watercolors serious [E] XM.
[Am] Step number two, white pants.
[C#] It's the smooth jazz singlet.
[Cm] You think wrestlers want to wear that uniform?
No way.
In smooth jazz, [A#] it's the white pants.
It's just part of the job.
As a matter of fact, once [D#] you reach post-graduate Dave Coz status,
you can get the whole room, the entire audience and [F] band
to wear all white.
[Em] Last week, I took a trip to D.C.
to visit the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Museum
to answer the age-old question,
what separates a hobbyist from a professional smooth jazz [F#] musician?
My [B] findings are here in step number three, [Am] jewelry.
[G] You think you're going to get on the smooth jazz cruise
[Dm] without a gold chain? Think again.
You think you're going to be [E] sipping Ritas on the Lido deck
of [C] the Dave Coz cruise [D] without a gold watch?
[G] You're living in the [D] wrong time zone.
You put all three of those steps [A] together,
and you get the [Bm] formula [A] for the most chart [D]-topping
original king of smooth jazz [A] there ever was, George Benson.
People forget about the original king.
He had it all.
He [B] could shred.
[A] He could write.
[E] He could sing.
He could sing and play at the same time.
[D] George Benson crushes harder than [A] anybody.
He's got the [E] stache.
He's got the pimp.
[A] He's got the full outfit.
Not to mention his [C#] band is full of players
with [Am] castman-level [Em] coordination.
Hitting [A] bass and [D] tambourine at the same time.
Which nobody is pulling off these days.
[E] All right, here's the [C] extra credit bonus tip.
[G] Steely Dan [F#] covers.
In your live [Em] show, if the audience is starting to get some [D] hecklers
or some [G] yawns, you've got to have an instrumental
Steely Dan cover in your back [A] pocket
to pull them back in.
[G] Secret of the pros, this is the ninth green at nine [B] trick.
This is what everybody uses in [G] the smooth jazz game.
You just hit the ball into the woods,
but you're chipping for eagle now.
[A] That's how you need to look at the [Dm] Steely Dan cover.
