HOW TO PLAY "CHITLINS CON CARNE" BY KENNY BURRELL chords
Start Jamming...
Hey there!
So I'm going to give you today for the lick of the day, it's actually going
to be the intro to a song called Chitlin's Con Con.
And it's actually by Kenny Burrell.
Really well known jazz guitarist, very blues based, very groove oriented.
Just a strong
feel.
And the song is in C, it's C blues.
And I'm going to play it for you and then
I'll break it down.
So it goes 1, 2, 1.
[F] [Cm]
[F] [Cm]
[F] [Eb] [F]
[C] [Eb]
[F] [Gm] [F]
[Cm]
[F] [B]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Cm] [Eb] [F]
[Bb] [Cm]
[Gm] [F]
[Cm] [B] [Eb]
That [Cm] last chord when you hear it, [F]
[Bb] [F] [Eb]
[G] that would actually
be the ending [D] chord to lead you back into the [G] beginning.
So there's two things happening
here.
We have a C7 sharp 9 chord.
[C]
C, [E] [Bb]
Bb, [Eb] D sharp.
[C]
[Cm] We have an [F] F7 chord.
F, [A] A, [Eb] Eb.
[F]
You
can even make an F9
[Cm] chord.
[Ab] And then the ending chord we have a G7, Bb, Db.
So we have a C7
G augmented 7 chord.
Or G7 sharp 5, G7 flat 13.
Different names, all the same [B] chord.
So
I'm playing [G] G, [F] F, [B] B, and Eb or D [G] sharp.
[Abm]
Now the riff goes like this.
[C] Starting on C.
[Eb] [C]
[Eb]
[C]
[Eb] [F] [G]
[Eb] I
sometimes [C] go like this.
[Cm] [F] [C]
[Eb] [C]
[C] [Eb]
[C] [F] [C] [F] So that there is F.
[F] [C]
[Eb] [G] [C] [Eb]
So that G when I'm sliding down, I'm sliding
down into [G] F.
[Eb] [C] And then it goes.
[Eb] [F] [C]
[Eb] [C]
[E] Then that C7 sharp 9 [Cm] chord happens.
Then the [C] next riff,
[Eb] [F] [C] [Eb]
[C] which is the same.
[F] [C] [Eb]
Then it goes into the F7 [F] chord.
[C]
Back to [Cm] C7 sharp 9.
Then, [C]
[Eb] [F] [Gm]
[F] [C] [Cm]
[F] [C] so you got
[B] [Gm]
[F] [C] [Eb]
[C] [Eb] [F]
[Gm] [F] [Cm]
[G]
this.
So this is probably going to end up being one of those videos where you'll feel
free to stop it and pause it and do each riff.
So the song again is broken down into sections.
You've got [Cm] this riff.
[F]
[Eb] [C] Followed by a chord, which is C sharp 9 or [Cm] C7 sharp 9.
[Ab] Then you
have another phrase that sort of ends [C] that.
[F] [C]
[Eb]
[F] [C] [D]
[Cm] Followed by a chord.
Then the first riff again.
[F]
[Eb] [Ebm] Followed by [F] F7.
[C] Following that is the ending riff.
[F] [C]
[Gb] Then C7 [Cm] sharp 9.
[Abm] Then you have the [C] final
phrase.
[Eb]
[Gm] [Cm] Or you can even go.
[F] [Gm]
[Eb] [C] [F]
[Bb]
[F] [C]
[F] [C]
[Eb] [C]
[F] [Cm]
[G]
And there's your G7 chord.
So that's the end of the song.
G7 flat 13 chord.
[N] Alright, that might be a little advanced for some of you guys.
But
I know there's going to be several of you out there that that's going to be okay.
And
you know, it's alright to sit and just work on one part of a riff.
It doesn't have to
be that you try to tackle it all at one time.
I've done that numerous times.
Even when I'm
writing I'll sit and work on for hours sometimes just certain ideas and not try to tackle the
whole song.
So don't feel like you've got to be in a rush.
If you've got any questions,
comments, suggestions, feel free to leave them.
Recommend the videos to others if you
feel like they're helpful.
And visit me on my website, jamesscottguitar.com. And you
guys be well.
I'll talk to you soon.
