Throat singing vs. Gut singing. I dont even know what that means, but i have invested in some vocal lessons and i will definitely find out.
On Stormy Monday the walk up is G-Am-Bm-Bbm-Am-C right? That is the way the Allmans play it i am pretty sure. How do you guys play that part?
Gonna have to google the singing thing. It's a real eye-opening thing once you get it down and you'll wonder how you ever got along without that skill! Bobby and Brent where great with singing from the gut which gave them both very soulful voices! Not knocking Jerry just different styles.
If I want to try to conceptualize it think of the most soulful sung part of a song with huge depth - that's gut. No imagine just speaking those words - that's throat.
That's not the way ABB ever plays it. But don't feel bad, I played it wrong for years along with the chorus ending for BIODTL which I'm guessin half the board does too without realizing it and most won't go back to even see cuz they are convinced.
It goes: G Am7 Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 G#maj7
The first line of the verse goes: 1 2 3 4 (got the timing in your head?)
1 = G
2 = partial chord slide to the A
3 = G
4 = rest
