Hey, how’s it going this is Jon McLennan with Guitar Control, we’re looking at an 8 bar blues in the style of Ray Charles, if you’ve heard it is tuned hard times this is a real cool set of changes to play over and also just to kind of improvise on cordially as I just was a second ago so let me show you the changes here.
We’re going start out here on an E flat barre chord like this and this is on the 6th fret with my third fingers, that’s my 1st chord and then I go to a G9 / D this is like your G9 kind of chord shape but I put 5th in the bass then I’m going to walk down to a C minor 7 and I played that with my thumb like this, Jimi Hendrix style you know of course I can do that romantic stuff I can just walk down it gives me this nice effect then I’m going to keep walking here you got a B9 chord, this is the 7th fret, 7th fret, 6th fret, 4th fret actually its B13 once I had that high string and then B flat minor 7, A13 which is 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, and then just move down the half step to a flat 13 and I walk back up A diminished chord 5th fret, 4th fret, 5h fret, 4th fret, then I just moved to this three note chord here this is a triad of basically an E flat over B flat. A nice sounds 4th fret 5th fret, 6th fret and moves to the 6th chord which is C9 and then again another one of these thumb chords F7 sharp five, then I just moved that same shape up to the 6th fret to B flat 7 sharp 5 returning home to the time which is E flat then I walk up the blues then ending with another thumb chord A flat.
