Here's what I do - I figure you're trying to link the Em back to the C to start the progression again, right? So, I use my ring finger exclusively, and start by hitting the open low E string, then the same string, second fret (F#), and third fret (G). Then, quickly the same thing on the A string, hitting it open, hammering on to the second fret ( B ), and sliding up to the third ( C ). Using my ring finger leaves my other fingers available so that by the time I've finished this little run, I have them in place to hit out the C chord.

 

E----------------0

B----------------1

G----------------0

D--------------2--

A-------0h2s3----

E-0-2-3-------- --

 

That takes you to the end of the C chord, and you go right into the B7, and then the Em, which leaves you open to start over with hitting the open E again. Does that make sense? Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

 

Nice board here, BTW.

i'm pretty sure he just does an upward scale after the chords as a fill:

 

----------
----------
----------

-1-2-4-5-7
----------

you can go onto the G string but it doesn't sound like he goes to an open string to me.

This one sounds perfect. One quick question: what scale/key is this? I'm a little new to this music theory stuff.

Given the chords (C B7 Em) I would call the key E minor

 

From the tab (I don't have a copy of the solo version), you're doing:

 

D# E F# G A

 

I might call this scale E Harmonic Minor, like this:

 

E F# G A B C D# E

Thanks!

 

But I think my brain just exploded.

Be careful what you ask for.

 

The simple explanation: Harmonic minor scales are the same as natural minor scales except that the 7th degree is sharped:

 

E minor:

E F# G A B C D E

 

E harmonic minor:

E F# G A B C D# E

 

C minor:

C D Eb F G Ab Bb C

 

C harmonic minor:

C D Eb F G Ab B C

C minor:

C D Eb F G Ab Bb C

 

C harmonic minor:

C D Eb F G Ab B C

 

Thanks for explaining that to me. One step at at time, I suppose.

You can also (sort of) tell since the chorus is in G major which is the relative major of E minor.

 

Seems like most songs with a minor key part and a major key part use the relative major/minor key pair.

Does anyone know the little riff Jeff does after "Cool breeze flows through"?
