Cherokee: Tune of the Month, July '06

dennis

a lot of gypsies think like this over Cherokee:

Bb | | Bb7 | |
Eb | | D7 | |
Gm7| | C7 | |
Bb/D |Dbdim7 | Cm7 | F7

etc... etc...

Intro/Outro:
The intro I play couldn't be simpler-I'm just laying into a Bb chord. (If you want to hear it, we've still got a pretty lame recording of it up on our myspace site)...

I just realized that recording isn't on the site anymore-I took it down because it was too crappy. For you guys though I'll put it up, just bear in mind it's old, it's compressed, we're much better now, and all the rest.

Best,
Jack.

Hi all,
so heres what I am getting of a live angelo recording- its likely not quite right, but its a chord melody anyway of something resembleing the intro as a lot of GJ cats do it. hopefully the tab won't suck that much,

Hi Ben,

Do you know which live Angelo that's from?

Thanks,
Jack.

Ben- I haven't been able to try it out yet as I am at work (although I work in a music store and could try it when there are no customers) but anything is appreciated. I am so bad at chord melody it is amazing. I understand how to do it I am just kind of bad at it. Practice practice though ya know.
Thanks man.

1. jack its from a live in quebec concert on (gasp) 9/11 in aught zero.
2. colin- man that was great! nice, and coherent, but very different from the angelo I have, which has a few more substitutions and things.

Cal, Yeah, let me know what you think!

jack and others, if you have the recording, please try it and let me know how far off I am- I think I got some of it right, but i could be wrong!
Cheers, and enjoy!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've got that somewhere around here; I'll give it a listen soon. Thanks again for posting that; even if it's not 100%, it'll definitely by a huge head start for all of us!

Best,
Jack.
