Never too old to try anything new . That's why I do it in G. I recorded it for my Wobble Walkin' album in Db and it was sung by Mickey Freeman and Db was her key. F G A G#7 Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
that's a different key for it! Looking forward to hearing more. I am really looking forward to hearing you solo on it and play the chord melody.
DukeI want to continue to work on "Gee Babe, Ain't I Good to You", or at least I want to understand it betterI learned the chords and melody, but then got lost on the solo.
[Chords] F#dim 2x1211 C6 x32210 C6/G 3x2210 [Chorus] A7 F7 Love makes me treat you E7 A7 The way that I do D7 G7 C6 Gee baby, ain't I good to … Now that I've learned a couple tunes like this, those chords are coming easier to me which is really exciting.The chord melody you do with Brad at the beginning is absolutely fantastic. Been playing this song for years , usually in key of C , sometimes in Bb , but never key of G . I also have a video of me playing the chords with Brad and also playing along with us where I do the chord melody and solo to demonstrate what you will be learning.Gee Baby, Aint I Good To You background listening: Hi Mike, Looking forward to hearing you play it!

As far as an ending some part of the chords could be used differently for an exteneded ending often called a tag ending. In the mean time, I'll get the chords flowing naturally. D9 E7 D9 F#7 Gdim F#7 Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
The lesson will be on the chords and I demonstrate the A sections bridge and the extended tag ending in 4/4 rhythm.
Apart from altering the melody, or copying your licks, it's hard to know what notes and chords to use. I tried to figure out the appropriate scales and target notes from the chord tones, and got all confused.How do you think about this song?
That is what we have here in my version. Hello Folks, this weeks lesson is the final one for "Gee Baby, Ain't I good for you." $1.5 $1.3 $2.3 $2.5 |$1.3 $1. $1. $2.5 $2.8 $1.5 $2.8 $1.6h7 $2.3 $1.

Duke Hi Tom, G is an unusual key but when I sing it it's my vocal key so that's why it's in G. Mickey Freeman sang it on my Wobble Walkin' album and she sang it in Ab. Introd: Am7 D7/9 Bm7 Dm6 A7 D7/9 G F Fdim A7 Love makes me treat you the way that I do F G A G#7 C#7 Gee baby, ain't I good to you?G F There's nothing in this world too good Fdim A7 For a girl so good and true.F G A G#7 Gee baby, ain't I good to you? i remember listening to a record of Fred Astaire, playing with some jazz greats, after his movie life.... Not a great singer, but an amazing sense of placement and storytelling... Hi Lizalu --- WOW!! Thanks for posting, made my day. Thanks .Hi Duke ... love the tune and your arrangement.
see you soon! There's nothing in the world, too good for a girl that's good and true Gee, baby, ain't I good to you. Duke Hi Mattia, That's a very good start!

Thanks, and thanks again for teaching this invisible audience.... we hear you. You have a beautiful voice --- but even better is how you shape and phrase the vocals. Thanks for posting, made my day. Hi Folks, this week we are starting on a new tune, "Gee Baby Ain't I good to you." We learn a final A section simple solo with a tag to make a bluesy ending. The lesson will be on the chords and I demonstrate the A sections bridge and the extended tag ending in 4/4 rhythm. $1. It's important that you understand the form before you try and improvise over it which is what you are looking to do it seems. Keep me on my toes .
