_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ just going to goof around with the blues a little bit now.
We all love the blues and we all have different ways to play it.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ [G] The _ trick way is how do you get to that four [Am] chord? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] You _ [C#] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F#m] want to get to your defining thirds, right?
Instead [G] of just, most people wouldn't define thirds.
_ [C#] _ [G] So _
[F#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
really you're [G] just kind of going up a half step on the ninth [F#] _ to the four chord, but instead
[E] of just jumping right to the four [A] chord, _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] and here's the money.
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ While you're waiting [A#] on that one, you can always, [Em] _ [Fm] _ [D#] _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ right? _
And you can play around because the [Dm] bass player, even if [A] he's playing on the root, [A#] you can
still, _ _ a flat five lick.
[B] _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _
You can even get ballsy and play the third.
[D] _ _ [G#] _
_ [A] And then _ _ [D] _
back to the one.
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ And the_
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Don't be afraid of those plus fives or the thirds.
It's prettier, it's not as ugly muddy waters, but it opens up another way for [Am] you to think
in terms of vocabulary.
You can get out of _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] that_
_ [A] The six is an important [D] way to get to_
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [C] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ [E] Flat five.
[D#] _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [F] _
[E] _ [A] _ [E] _ [A] _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] _ _ [D] _ [D#] _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ [G] _
_ [G#] _ _ [A] _ Direct [G] _ _
[C#] _ little turn around there. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, the thing is, I like a floating bridge.
Now you have to have a floating bridge for this to work, and with all due respect, nobody
does it better than Mr.
Beck.
_ There's a lot of country guys that mess with this, but _ I've had the great honor of sitting
and watching how Jeff does, and because he's one of my favorite guitar players, it rubs off.
I never play like the guy, but nobody ever plays like their heroes, but they can be influenced by it.
So I just make it my [G] own. _
_ _ _ _ _ It's [Dm] very fluid, liquid-y sounding, [G] for lack of a better term.
[A] Instead [Gm] _
[D] _ of_
You [A] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ go_
So where you're actually, instead of just _ bending_
You go_
Where you're using this as almost like a slide guitar.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Then you can_
[F#] You have your one, [D] five, ten.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [F#] _
[C] _ _ _ _ Knowing your arpeggios really helps.
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ [F#] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Bm] _ [C#m] _ _ [D] _ _ [D#] _ [E] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ [Bm] _ _
