Hi all,

I'm looking for pointers to any source that can help me divine the
chord inversions used by Greg Allman on the Allmans Brothers' recording
of Stormy Monday. I've got the chart from OLGA (thanks Glen Macon),
and it sounds lovely when I play it on guitar, but I can't seem to
find the right inversions of the chords in the progression. The
progression I'm using looks like this:

|G7 / / / |C9 / / / |G7 / Ab7 / |G7 / / / |
|C9 / / / |/ / / / |G7 / Am7 / |Bm7 / Bb7 / |
|Am7 / / / |Cm7 / / / |G7 / C9 / |G7 / D+ / |

Can anyone help me out directly? Or point me to a source (other
than OLGA) that might have this. I'm going to try ordering the
sheet music, but I'm jamming this weekend (5/24) and would love to
have the info sooner than it will take to deliver the sheets.

well..for starters..try voicing a G9 on strings 2-5 from the second
fret..the notes are B,F,A,D.....then..take that inversion and slide it
up a whole step then slide back down into it..you'll hear the T-Bone
vibe on the first measure..the second measure does the same dance on
the C9 chord from the 7th fret..I usually only play this tune on
Tuesdays...they are just as bad as Mondays..

hey rick...

G7 - use G13...F-B-E
C7 - use C9 ...E-Bb-D

slide this puppy around...real practical formation...

remember, never play a fundamental or a fifth :-)

have fun...

Please don't post this discussion to rec.music.makers.guitar.jazz. We
are guitar players. We don't have organs. =8-0
