Intro for “Almost There”. By Jack Stoner
Here is an E9th intro that I did on a recent recording session. The song is an original, “Almost There”, written by Jimmy Peppers (BMI). This is a neat 1, 3m, 4, 5, 1 intro. The song is a medium tempo 4/4 and in the Key of E. The chord progression is E, G# minor, A, B, E (for those that are not familiar with the number system). It only uses the A and B pedals.
NOTE: There is a “rocking” effect on the G# minor, portion of the lick. I used a bar slide back and forth between the 7th fret and approx ˝ fret low (6 ˝).
