BB King - Guess Who

Hi everyone,

Guess who is a great song from BB, great example of how talented he was at making a guitar sing, scream, talk, cry etc.

Here how I think it goes down


Ab -  Aaug -  Bm -  Bm maj7

Ab - Abaug -  Bbm / Bbmmaj7 -  Bbm7 / Eb7

Bbm / Bbmmaj7 -  Bbm7 / Eb7 -  Ab  -  Ab/Gb/F/Eb

Db  - Dbm - Ab

Lyrics

Someone really loves you
Guess who
Someone really cares
Guess who
S'open your heart,
Oh, then surely you'll see,
Oh, that the someone who really cares is me

Someone will wait eternally
Someone who'll want your love,
Oh so desp'rately
Open your heart,
Oh, then surely you'll see,
Oh, that the someone who really cares,
Who really cares is me

UB40 Falling in love with you

Hi guys, it's been a while.

So love that song. Was going through some oldies on spotify and remember oh man do these songs are good.
This is great in reggae, obviously, but please have fun and arrange it the way you want. Ballad, jazz, etc.

Structure:AABA

Wise men say - Only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you)
Wise men say-only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you...

Shall I stay - Would it be a sin,
If I can't help falling in love with you.

As the river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand - Take my whole life too,
For I can't help falling in love with you.

As the river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand - Take my whole life too,
For I can't help falling in love with you.
For I can't help falling in love with you

Superwoman By Alicia Keys

Really a piano song bit tku can get away on the guitar with good form

Intro

Am

Am/G#

Am/G

Am/F#

X2 

Then F - C x2

The intro as you can see has a walking bass, i reco keeping the bass note on A and actually going down on the octave on the 4th string.

Verse:

C - G/B - Am - Am

Dm - C - G - G 

Then play the intro again on "I am a superwoman" chorus.

Cheers let me know if that makes sense to you !

Been reading a great book "The advancing guitarist". It starts by having you play on one string. Play the different modes of C on each string individually, and with one finger. Believe or not, much more interesting than I thought !

Have you ever done that? What do you think ? Let me know!

Cheers,
Pascal
