Slant Mania - Happy Thanksgiving!

Andy Volk · From: Boston, MA

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

After the Turkey's in the oven, here's a wacky C6th slant lick for you to digest. It uses voice-led common tones and a bunch of substitute chords over a minor chord. At first, it may seem impossible to play in tune, but with a wee bit of downward pressure on the bar, it works pretty well - especially played quickly (probably easier on a 22.5" scale). The A+ (also F+) and the G7 are played using the nose of the bar to cover two strings - a patented Jerry Byrd move.

Fixed a typo in the first forward slant Dm chord and re-posted the chart above.

Haha, I was trying to play it as you originally posted it.....I was thinking between this and your Buddy Emmons recommendations that it was a pedal steel plot! Thanks for posting!

Sorry! The downside of rushing.
