Allman+Brothers - Dreams

Name: Dreams

Artists: Allman Brothers

Transcribed by: Jason Yankee

Note: This is all my own work.

Note: This song is played in 3/4, 6/4 or 6/8 time.

Those time signatures are basically the same thing.

The bass lines goes like this:

D note, C note, A note....  over and over

Play the Bass line for the left hand on the keyboard

part.

Play these chords over the bass line:

C 6 chord, D 7 chord

or

C 6 chord, F # diminished chord

The break in the song uses these chords:

G 7 chord, F 7 chord, E 7 chord 

repeat.

Note: For the E 7 chord you might want to play three

different inversions of it in a row (keyboard only).

The solo is played using the D major scale with a 

b 5. Here is that scale: D, E, F #, G, A, B, C, D

D0, LE0, LE2, LE3, LE5, LE7, LE8, A5, A7, D4, D5, D7,

HE14, HE15, HE17, HE19, HE20, HE22

The solo stays within the scale. If you know the scale

then you can figure out the solo. The solo also 

probably uses a slide.

The final break: (Play a D7 in the background)

want to try to play 4 different inversions of it

(keyboard only).
