Chords for Windy and Warm, taught by Dave Morgan part 3

Now onto the next part.
And the most important [Am] part _
[Gb] of playing any of the positions is understanding the chords. _
Baseline and melody is always going to follow the chord position.
So we start with a little A minor [Am] and it's just _ [A] basically an ascending progression.
[Am] Take the same A minor chord up to the third position _ _ and [C] then slide it up one more fret,
the second and third fingers up to the fifth fret and drop your little finger in on the second string.
And _ I use the first string open, then back [Bm] to A minor position at the third fret,
[E] then [Am] A minor, _ _ [G] and then open _ to E.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
So, [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C] _
[Bm] _ [Gb] and the second time through [Ab] we stay on the A minor instead of rotating over to the E.
So, first time, _ _ _ [Bm] _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] [Am] stick down A minor, _ [G] and you repeat it.
_ [C] _ [Bm] _
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ Now we have this [C] little D minor turn chord here.
And we do a reverse roll on it.
I use second finger, right hand, first finger, right hand, and thumb.
[Dm] _ _
_ _ _ So it's a complete reverse roll _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] to E. _
So [Dm] once again.
_ _ [E] And then I have this little walk down.
_ [G] _ [E] Excuse me. _
[A] _ _ [B] _ And I prefer doing thumb, finger, thumb, finger because it gives me a little bit more of a syncopated sound.
Some of you may just want to do the [Am] thumb pick [B] or [Gb] finger.
[A] For _ me it's always better to do the [Am] thumb, finger, thumb, finger.
_ [B] _ For me it [Am] just gets a better rhythmic sound.
So once again, this part _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [Am] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [G] _
_ [E] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ should be.
_ [B] _ _ [Am]
Let me [F] go back to part one again.
And we repeat [Am] part one. _
So I'm not going to do part one again.
We'll try not to bore you with doing the same [E] thing [Am] too many times.
_ [F] So the next part of the song we have is going to part three.
So after we get out of part one, _
[G] _ back to the A [Am] minor, _ _ [Ab] _
[G] walk down to the G chord.
We have to wrap this G because of some things we're going to do.
_ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ Even though this is a short part, as most of these abbreviated parts are in between part one,
I think this is the most [E] difficult part of the song.
It involves a couple of difficult [G] chord things where you have to [C] lift part of the chord in order [A] to get the open string.
So you start off with A on the fifth string.
[Ab] _
Then we have G sharp, A flat right there.
[G] Then we go right into the G chord, but we're going to wrap it.
_ And I mean wrap it by wrapping the thumb around on the third fret. _ _ _ _
_ Little finger [E] down to the melody.
So melody is _ _ _ [Am] _ down on the fifth fret on the A note [G] to G.
Then drop your second finger over to the E flat or D [Eb] sharp.
_ _ And then you have [E] first string open, which sets up a blue note again. _
_ [Eb] _ [E] _ _ Blue notes sound wonderful if they're played in series.
_ _ Sometimes they don't sound so good if you play them together.
_ [A] So we don't want to extend upon that or let it ring too long.
So in this case we're playing it in a series. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Em] And I [Eb] even bend [E] _ it up a little bit so [D] it almost matches tone with the first string. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Em] _ [G] The whole time I'm doing the [D] back and forth from sixth to fourth.
_ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
Now I [Gm] go to a C9. _ _ _ _
And if you _ [A] _ [Gb] don't want to rotate back and forth, because you've got to rotate these bass notes back and forth,
you can just put your second finger [C] in between the fifth and sixth strings.
_ _ And you'll cover enough [Gb] of it.
It just doesn't take too much pressure there.
So you don't have to be [C] too precise about it.
Just get it right between the strings.
_ Old folk player, blues player trick here.
[Gm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] [Gb] And then we go to the C9 and we do some of [Cm] the same stuff.
_ [Gm] _ _
_ [A] _ So with this C9 I have to get my little finger up to the A note.
_ _ And then I let [Gm] off the A note. _
[E] Now I have to come off of the string.
_ [Eb] _
_ [E] _ And this is the hardest part, probably of the song, is you have to get your little finger on that D sharp, E flat, [Eb] bend it a little bit.
[Gb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ And then [C] play first string open. _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [A] _
Easier when you're at speed.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ So [Ab] then the next move we [F] have is a wrap F.
_ _ _ [G]
And you add that G note toward the end.
[F] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Dm] D minor.
_ _ _ And it's not an alternating thing there.
I just do a little one _ _ or two times on the bass note and then I play my chord.
_ _ _ [E] _
_ [Fm] D7 chord and turn it.
[E] _ _ _
[A] So part three again.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ Then you go back and repeat part two, or excuse me, [Am] part one _ [A] once again.
_ [E] _ [D] _ And then we get [Am] into part four of the song.
[F] And we have this [N] abbreviated
