Chords for Steve Smith shows Rhythm magazine some chops

_ _ _ Time check, you know, it's a time check
_ One _ _ two three four, so I just you know find that tempo for this
_ [A] _ _ _
[B] _ [N] and then maybe play
_ slide beat I'm playing up one _ But
_ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ Getting a nice sound out of the sticks in the pad in other words
You [N] hear if I open up by play _
My hands holding the sticks tight
_ _ I'm just pretty chump _ _ _ you hear everything
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [C] _ _ And _ [D#m]
and actually the the tune nut bill is similar in [N] tempo
It's just a little bit faster. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[N] So for instance, what what those stickings are.
It's just
_ right right left left
_ But putting a flam _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ This is a nice nice thing to play
_ sounds like the ride you _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Then keep in that idea in mind
You play a paradiddle and right right left left right and put a flam
Before the right right and a flam before the left [D#m] left _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ and then inverted paradiddle
Right [N] left left with a diddle in the middle
_ Flam in it one two three _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ That's _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _ [A#] _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ the other paradiddle where you're going one one _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Go to the four variations of the paradiddle
[C] And _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ then I make combinations right go home. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So you hear _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay
