How to Play Mean Mistreater - Mark Farner - Grand Funk Railroad

How to Play Mean Mistreater - Grand Funk Railroad.

Some youtube friends asked me to post this. Please be gentle with the comments. This is my first Youtube video!. As you can see, I used some free editing software. I realized after uploading this that I forgot to demonstrate one of the things he plays during the chorus. Oh well...I may redo.
The Keyboard is a Clavia Nord Electro 2 73. I have it set to the Wurlitzer 200 setting.

Great elec-piano work, but why didnt you give the chords? it looks like Am /G /F/ Emajor ??

[Jimmers131005]

I figured by using an overhead shot and playing in slow motion that it would be easier to figure out. The keyboard part is really a combo of melody and chords together. But if it helps, the chords in the foundation are Am Dm Am/Cbass Bm FMaj/dim7 and the chorus is Gmaj F#maj Fmaj6

you got the chords almost right, in the foundation they are | Am | Dm | Am/C | Bdim F(maj7) | at least that's how I think it's right. But I'm sure about the Bdim.

That was great man. The only thing I hear different from what you are playing is, in the solo ...the last chord on each bar ( the variation of a Dminor/ F ) I believe he occasionally slides off a B flat note . Otherwise, flawless. Love that chord on the ending...always had trouble with that one. Laughed when you went into Get it Together....guess you wore out the album just like I did.
