Chords for Never too Much (tutorial in Dmajor) Luther Vandross

_ _ _ Oh, just thank God for another day.
_ Boy, we love all the wedding songs and the old school.
Let's go back to old school, the [Em] loop, the band drops.
Let's go to the [D] key of [A] D.
_ _ This [Gm] video is going to be so easy, you're going to [Bb] just laugh at it.
I just remember how we do the [C] sevens, the old video with the [Db] _ [G] [Eb] sevens.
[E] _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm going to take an F major [F] seven, F, A, C, E.
A G flat [Gb] major seven.
_ [Bbm] And that's a G flat, B, _ D flat, F.
_ [Eb] So we're just going up and [Dbm] down, [F] starting from the F, _ going up a half step to the [Gb] G flat.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] And then we'll fall back [G] to the G major seven, which is a G, B, D, G flat.
_ _ [C] _ _
[Db] _ [G] _ _ Go [Ab] to your A flat major seven.
_ We know that down by heart. _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Bbm] _ [G] _ [Eb] _ [A] _
_ [E] So we can actually do the beginning of Never Too Much by Luther with those [C] sevens.
[Db] _ [G] _ [Ab] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [E] So what's your bass line doing when you're [G] doing those sevens?
Your bass line is going to go from a G, [Ab] A flat, [Am] [E] A, B flat, B.
Let me do that [C] slow.
_ [Db] _ _ [G] _ [Cm] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
I'm ending on an [A] A natural, _ A, D flat, E.
So real [E] simple, I'm going to add another A with my pinky.
_ And then even after you get on into the song, you know, when you [G] do those turnaround.
[Ab] _ [Dbm] You [E] can actually leave the seven [G] off.
_ And this time you'll be going with your bass line [E] from the A, B flat, [G] B.
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _
[G] So when you're on that A in your bass, you got a G chord in your right hand.
G, B, D on top of [A] your A bass.
_ [E] So we're taking [Ab] the sevens off now and using the regular, you know, A flat, C, E flat, [Eb] _
with your B flat [G] bass.
_ [Ab] _ [E] Like I said, you got your A natural chord on top of your B bass.
So when he's doing [Bb] his verse, [G] you know.
_ [Ab] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ Going to a G.
_ _ You can keep that G major seven actually, or you can always put that nine in there. _ _
_ _ _ What _ _ [Ab] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm [G] _ doing on that bass. _ _ _
[A] _ That's a B.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _
[D] _ [Gb] _ _ [G] What I [E] did right there when I come off [B] of the B.
_ _ To the A.
_ [Bm] _
B flat, D.
_ _ _ G [G] flat, G.
_ _ _ _ _ And you can actually go to that E minor 11.
[Em] We know those chords by heart now.
That's the whole song.
_ [Ab] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [Ab] _ [G] Sorry.
[Ab] _ [Dbm] That's that little walk up I was [A] talking about.
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[A] _ Do that again.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ To the E. _ _
_ [Ab] _ [E] _ [A] That's how it is. _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ Walk it up.
[Ab] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Stay on that D left.
And then you can do that [Em] in your bass.
E, E, [G] _ _ [Em] D, E, back to your low octave.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ A.
[A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ Real _ _ _ _ _ _ simple. _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ Crash it.
A natural.
_ [E] _
_ _ _ [G] Back to the.
[Ab] _ [A] _ _
_ Of _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[E] _ _ course, all the rest of the instruments, your horns and everything [Em] make this song.
That's a way you can play Never Too Much.
And remember, [G] if we go back to the intro, we can throw those [C] sevens in there.
[Ab] _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [A] _ _ [E]
You know, Luther got some of the prettiest music to play. _
And again, that's in the key of D major.
_ So I hope that can be fun to mess around with.
Big shout out to my man Abel Scruggs.
