I’m So Excited’s chords, progressions, and TAB
The Pointer Sisters‘ signature song I’m So Excited dropped in 1982 but didn’t catch on as expected. Slightly altered and then re-rereleased two years later it became a top ten hit in the U.S.
Since then it has been a given on the Disco band’s set list alongside We Are Family, I Will Survive, Hot Stuff, and Car Wash.
I’ve found that in this style of music, it’s easy to ignore the actual chords and just “learn the guitar part”. This would be a mistake as the guitar is picking out its notes based on the chords.
With this in mind, I’ve designed some TAB clearly showing how the chords are played on the keyboard using TAB, chords, and lyrics. This is then followed by the TAB of the actual guitar part.
This approach is vital if you want to go beyond memorizing and get to a place where you are writing tunes and coming up with guitar parts through improvisation.
