Afro Blue


AFRO BLUE - John Coltrane (originally by Mongo Santamaria) This is the theme for Afro Blue. I tabbed it out from the Coltrane version Live at the Birdland. It's basically just a theme all in the F natural minor scale. There is alot of room for little hammerons and other nice things to really bring out the power of this simple tune. Oh yeah, its in 6/8 time. e------------------------| Play 2x B-----13-----------------| G--------13-15--13-15----| D---15----------------15-| A------------------------| E------------------------| Then -----------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------| --------12---------------------12------13------| ---13-13---13----13-15----13-13---13-----15----| --------------16---------------------16--------| -----------------------------------------------| Then ------------------------------------------| Play 2x then play second part ---13-161616-14-13131313------------------| again. -------------------------15-1313-12-------| ------------------------------------13-15-| ------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------|
