What’s Between the Lines
KURT-PLUNK
Both Kurt and Curt cannonball
into this song with thumping
chord strumming. Though the
G5chord symbolabovethe staff
reflects the implied harmony,
Gur 1 (Kirkwood) lays into a
chord in keeping
with the G minor
tonality of both the
intro and chorus
(He bars the minor
3rd [BS] on the G
string with his index
finger. If you just
plan on chording
‘through the section,
follow along with
Gtr. 2's simpler
three-string power
chords, which will
suffice,
In the intros third measure,
Kirkwood plays a double-stop
lick during the C5-BS5 change,
To achieve the wavering effect
ofthis alternating bend-release
lick, fret both strings at the fifth
fret with your ring finger and
bend them down toward the
floor. After you've reached the
target pitches of a half-step
abave the two starting notes,
release the bend. Repeat this
move, and then play the two
notes atthe third fret with your
index finger
‘Atthe end of the intro, Kitk
wood again employs double
stops on the G and B strings for
the song's recurring lick. These
three sets of diatonic 4ths lend
haunting, almost Easter vibe.
‘As you pick the first pair (10th
and 11th frets) witha mandolin.
like lightness, quickly waggle
your frethand to create the quiv
ering vibrato effect.
‘chord, Gt. 1 plays the Bsus? in
Fig. 1A. Atthe same timo, Gtr. 2
plays a Bb chord (Fig, 1B) at the
sixth fret. If you're playing by
‘yourself, go with the former; if
you have a partner, the conflu-
ence ofthe two chords will flesh
‘out the harmony. As
you strum through
these chords, strive
for a loose, jangly
attack—just behind
the beat.
(On the last Dm of
the verse, Gtr. plays
‘a Dm barre chord
[Fig.2] atthe fifth fet.
Rake the pick slowly
through the chord,
and then check out

curs so.o
Okay, so it's nothing shreddy, but
just be happy you're getting a
solo in a Nirvana song. Travers
ing the G blues scale in Fig. 3,
captain Kirkwood goes where
many men have gone before,
specifically in 3rd position. Stl,
the solo’ssuccinct phrasing and
swagger make it memorable.
Note how he incorporates the
4/55 (C#/D4) blue note both on
the Bstring’ssecond fretand the
A string's fourth fret. Once
you've got the solo down, try
[improvising one of your own in
another position. 3)

Resultant was the bulk of four
seminal albums—Cookin’

Coltrane, pianist Red Garland,
drummer Philly Joe Jones, and
bassist Paul Chambers. “My

cases Davis’ lyrical ballad
approach, Let's transfer it to
sitar
‘THE FORM
‘My Funny Valentine” is based
on a 36-measure ABA song
form, in which the first three
sections are each eight mea
sures long; the last A-section Is |
12 measures. Following a four-
bar introduction from Garland |
(rehearsal letter A), Davis plays
‘the head (B). Then Garland solos
for a chorus (C), after which
Davis improvises on the B-sec
tion (D), capping the tune with
a free time cadenza,
What’s Between the Lines
“My Funny Valentine”

E-G-Ab-B»), one position of
Which is demonstrated in Fig, 1
Before improvising,
acquaint yourself
with the C minor
scale in other loca-
tions. Then try solo-
Ing along with the A
section, bearing in
mind the original
melody.
The B sectionisin
C minor's relative
major key, Es. So in
learning to improvise
‘on those eight bars, you can
{draw from the Es major scale
[Fig. 2}, which is, of course, a
reordering of the C minor scale.
After toying with the ES major
scale in assorted positions, try
soloing along with the B section,
as before, referencing the pri
mary theme.
‘Once you've tackled “My Funny
Valentines" baste key areas, id
be a good idea to examine the
harmonic skeleton in greater
detail, thus generating more
colorful melodic possibilities.
| Te ae Picrune
Don't be intimidated by the
plethora of chord changes nthe
A-section of “My Funny
Valentine.” Davis’ soloing is

tart with the mino:
that occurs throughout. Over
Dm745, the D Locrian mode
(D-B-F-GALB-C)
will work well, as it
houses the notes of
the chord. Ina il-V-i
progression the V
chordis often altered
by #9 and i9 degrees;
stippled with a #5 or
$5. So on the G7
chord, you can use
the hybrid G dimin-
ished/whole tone
scale (G-A-B)-BHG-D+-B-P.
‘The first portion is diminished
(G-Db) and the second half
(BY/G-F is whole tone. During
the C minor chord, simply stick
with C natural minor. Figs. 3A-B
illustrate applications of these
three scales. Now invent some of
your awn minor it-V-i moves,
then incorporate them into a"My
Funny Valentine” solo. 3)
