This is a high intermediate lesson mostly because of some wide or fast chord changes, Strict 4/4 time but, feel free to put your own feel into it.
I wanted to see if I could make a BT for players to practice playing over 7Maj chords. The whole thing is in 7Majs except for the A chord in the intro and outro. As you can see it breaks down into 3 sections.
The tune is in the Key of A with a parallel minor chord CMaj7 to give it a dark feel. An FMaj7 was added at the turn around for drama. I hope to hear some players jammin over this.
Strumming works pretty well for this if you want to practice that too.
Intro A-CM7
-----I---III
AMaj7-CMaj7 X2-Play second Cmaj7 as barre chord 3 fret
--I-----III
DMaj7-AMaj7 X4
-IV-----I
EMaj7- DMaj7-CMaj7-FMaj7
--V------IV----III----bVII
Outro AMaj7-CMaj7-AMa7-CMaj7-A.
--------I------III----I------III---I
In the first section, feel free to add more reps if you want. X4 works well too, Just remember to play the last CMa7 as a barre chord. The treble line in this section walks up to the DMaj7 which is a bit of a twist on a walking bass line.
The EMaj7,DMaj7 and the CMaj7 all use the same barre chord fingering so it is just a matter of sliding it down the neck to each chord.
The usual. Tab sheet. MP3file of me playing it. GP5 file for people who want that and a clean piano midi file for folks who don't have GP5. Enjoy
