Most of you, and Larry too, play with a pick, or they play with a pick [Db] when you're doing
this solo, and that's totally cool.
I like [G] using my fingers because I like the way the double stops sound.
[Ab] [Db] [Eb] [E] Stuff like that.
[Am] I [G] just like having those two notes executed at the same time, so it kind of gives the
apparency of a double track type thing that Larry did on that song.
But anyway, a couple things.
At the beginning, you've [Ab] got these chords, right?
Everybody tends to play these things differently.
[E] It's an Ab major 7.
Okay, and
[Ab] we've got [G] Ab, Eb, [Ab] G, and a C.
And this [Db] thing, [Ab] this is like a Gb major 9 without a 3rd.
Okay, so you've got your Gb, you've got your [Gb] [F] Db, you have the F right [Fm] here, [Em] which is your
[Gbm] Ab major 7, [Db] [Ab] [E] and this is an Ab which is a [Gb] [Db] 9th, and this is your 5th.
[G] So there's no 3rd in there, right?
[Db]
[N] And then this thing is a C minor 7 with an Ab in the bass.
Okay, and I know it looks like an Eb major upper voicing [Eb] chord, right?
But [E] it's not functioning as an Eb major, okay?
It's functioning as a C [Eb] minor.
So those are those chords, right?
[Ab] [A] [B]
[Ab] [Db] [Em] And then he goes into this stuff, right?
Which we all kind of do [F] the same way.
[Ab]
I know a lot of people play this part up here, [N]
which is cool.
I like this over here.
I just like [Ab] the tone, a little [Eb] brighter tone.
[Ab]
[Abm] And at the end of this note, sometimes [Em] I do this.
[N]
You know, I get this like that, you know?
I can't do that over here.
It sounds like that, right?
[A] So that's why I chose to do it there, right?
It's all cool, everybody does it the same way.
[Eb]
[A] Let's see.
[C] [Ab] [F]
That thing there, which is great about using [Ab] your fingers, you can cut off other notes
independent of this other thing you're doing, right?
This bend or this pull off.
[F]
So when I resolve [Dm] to this note, which is an F, I'm actually [Em] cutting off the top string
to get [E] rid of this thing, [F]
[E] right?
And so when you pull off that, you don't [C] get [F] this.
This [E] thing.
[C]
And then all this, [Ab] it's all cool, everybody does this the same.
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Em] It's all [Fm] good.
[A]
[N] And then he has this monster bend that goes [Ab] from an Ab to [C] a C, two whole steps.
And you got to have your guitar like set up really well
so you [G] don't bottom out.
[Ab] And because that's a tough bend, you really got to get leverage on that string.
[F]
And [Ab] this thing, this double stop he had, [A]
right?
Because [E] he was able to bend on this [Gm] note,
[Ab] you know, on two [E] tracks.
So I do it this way.
[Ab] [Am] So as I release this guy, [E] I can just throw that in with my finger.
Again, another benefit to using the finger.
And so
