I don't want
you to miss out on all of the nuggets that I'm dropping.
So today we're going
to get into some 90s R&B.
One of my favorite groups, [Gm] my all-time favorite
groups from the [E] 90s was this group _ called Jagged Edge.
And this
one particular song I love is called What You Trying To Do [G] because it embodied
chords and some of these licks and just some kind of [Eb] like _ I guess you would
call it like maybe _ not _ _ arpeggiations but it just has some different kind of
movements in it that I really like and I just want you to take a listen to
this track so you can kind of see what I'm talking about.
Alright [F] some octave
stuff that's what I was trying to say.
So let's take a listen to [Ab] this track and
I'm gonna show you how to [D] play it. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
Man I love that song just [Gb] because of the way that it moves in that song or
whatever.
So _ _ the song is in the key of F [E] major. _
So that first chord that we're
[G] going to do is that D minor 7.
[F] _
_ [C] _ _ [Am] _ [F] Go to that A minor [Gm] 7 to that G minor [Am] 7.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Gm] _ _ Back to
that [Dm] B flat major 7.
Just there's two different positions. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ Back to the A minor
[E] 7 or if you want to do that C sharp diminished [Db] 7.
_ It's not really in the song
but it's kind of cool because it fits in that space.
_ _ [C] Back to that D minor [Dm] 7, _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ B flat
major [Fm] 7.
Now we're gonna do that octave.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
So we're doing C, _ [Bb] _ _ [Bb] _
B [A] flat, _ A, [G] G.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [G] So [C] let's put it
all together kind _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Gm] of like a plucking motion.
[A] _
_ [G] _ _ Alright so let's play along with
the song so you can kind [Dm] of get a feel for it.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ So it's [C] really just you can live in that particular [Gb] moment where you just
digging and locking [E] on that particular part of [Abm] the track.
Like don't get so
fixated on I want to learn I want to learn and just do all of the stuff and
not really lock in on [C] the stuff that's really important.
That's that movement.
_ [A] _ _ [G] That's so much stuff in there.
[Dm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ Just really getting that really [Bb] locking in on
that.
You [C] cannot take that part for granted.
I really cannot stress the
importance.
[Db] Also I want to stop right here and say if you love the stuff that
we're teaching here but [Eb] you want to go to the next level go to [N] kareyscamp.com
and I'm really gonna _ I'm gonna drop a link but in that particular website I go
even deeper.
I give you a whole lot more more stuff that you're learning [G] here but
I'm gonna go even deeper [Gm] so the way you're completing your full potential.
But let's [Gb] jump back into this lesson.
So like I said again this this key is in the
key of [E] D major. _
So we're gonna start on the six which is that D minor.
[C] Going to
[C] the three which is that A minor.
[Gm] That two which is that [Am] G minor.
So _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] four which is
that [Bb] B flat major seven.
_ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _
You go back to that three which is the A [Ab] minor or you
do a diminished [Db] seventh.
C sharp diminished seventh. _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [C] _ [A] C B A [G] G.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
You cannot
[E] overlook that part because I mean that's enough where you just live in that
particular part.
It's really gonna give you the nutrients [G] that you need in order
to [C] really just feed your R&B soul.
So again just going over that _
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] like that
whole rhythmic part just a like the staccato.
_ [Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _
_ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Eb] Again [Dm] _ that's all you need [Abm] to
really know and [Eb] just really kind of cultivate your R&B like [D] soul.
Do that
[C] part right there.
It's really gonna help change and [Bb] enhance what you're doing.
You're gonna find yourself just [Gm] being even more comfortable but playing kind
of rhythmic staccato kind of [Ab] movements and also [Bb] doing like those kind of [Eb] _ [G] octave
movements.
That stuff is really cool.
