Soul Man Intro

[kevmilla]

thanks. question what would be the first note if you were playing this in b flat

[randysguitarclinic]

@kevmilla I show the licks in the key of E. Bb is6 frets higher than E ( the 6th fret on the E string is Bb). So you have to move every single lick 6 frets higher to play in Bb. You ask what the first note would be, but I am playing two notes at once. In the key of E, I use G# on the E string, and B on the G string. In Bb, you would use D on the E string, and F on the G string.

Folks, if you're a marginally talented rookie like me, just capo up 3 and follow the video. That way you can be in the original Sam and Dave key and still play the full E chord (really G) for the verse.

u taught me good but after the high notes the lick teach me how to do that

[randysguitarclinic]

@poppinskittlez252 That is in the soul man chorus video. Check the rest of my videos. The links to the rest of soul man are in the text under the video.

Good!!!

[givmeyourcheese]

Do you mind redoing this except a little slower and so we can see your fingers better?

[randysguitarclinic]

@givmeyourcheese Real life is really busy. I have gigs to play as well as a real job. Follow the link to the TAB. The link is right in the caption of the video.

awesome.....!!!!!!!!!!

[Anas3101]

hey can u post a video about how to play soul man the sam and dave version plz if u cant post another video on how to play the verse in an easier way

[randysguitarclinic]

@Anas3101 To play along with the Sam and Dave version, move every lick 3 frets higher. Sam and Dave do the song starting in the key of G, which is 3 frets higher than the Blues Brothers version.

[Siontje]

i think you have to begin with the lick on

7th fret

it just sounds better

[randysguitarclinic]

@Siontje If you are playing along with the Sam and Dave recording, then start at the seventh fret (Sam and Dave did the song in the key of G). The version I am showing is in the key of E, the way The Blues Brothers did it.

[pintorocker308]

@CrisDan1905 basically put ur fingers like a D chord with out your third finger as the shape and you just slide it up and down.

[CrisDan1905]
