Soul Intro/The Chicken
I played this with my high school jazz band so it should
be pretty close. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
The beginning up to the bass solo is in 3/4.
G-3-1-3---0--------------7------------------------------12-14-15\-
D-----------3----0--3-4-7-7-4-5------8---/15-14-------------------
A------------1--1----------------6-5------------------12----------
E-------------------------------6----------------12h15------------
G-6-5-6-----------------10--14-12-10------------------6-5-6-5-8-11-
D-------8-6----3-6-7-10--------------10-7-8-7-8-----4--------------
A-----------4-----------------------------------4-6----------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------
G--10----10----10----10----10----10----------10----10----10----10----10----
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12-
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------
slowing down...
G----------------------------
D----------------------------
A--6---------------6---------
E----10--8---6---------6-----
And now the solo.
Moderate funk tempo
G-----------------------------------------
D----------------5--88---------------5-88-
A----55--6-6--8-------8------5-5-6-85-----
E-6-6-------------------6-6---------------
*This can be played starting on the first fret on the A String
but I think this way is easier.
The rest is improve; but it basically follows this pattern:
G-------------------------------------------------------------8----
D--------------5-88----------------5--8---55-85-----55-6-8/10------
A----5-5-6---8-----------5-5-6--685-----66--------66---------------
E-6-6---------------6-6------------------------60------------------
G----------754------------------------------------------------------7--
D-----44-7----754-------------5-----22-------------------22-3-35-5/7---
A--5-5----------------22334455---3-3------00112233---3-3---------------
E-----------------3-3-----------------0123-----------------------------
G------------2--5------------------------
D----22-3-352-----/--8-6-----------------
A-3-3--------------------8-6-------------
E----------------------------8-6--4--6---
And that's the pattern and basically what he plays the first time thru.
He plays two bars of Bb, two of Eb, one of D, one of G, and three of C.
After each time through this routine, he plays:
G---------------------- --6-5------------------
D--8-6----------------- O ------8-6--------------
A------8-6------------- R ----------8-6----4---6-
E----------8-6---4---6- -----------------------
