12 Michael Jackson Riffs You Can Play on Guitar, by Play It Loud 12 Michael Jackson Songs You Can Play On Guitar: A Free E-Book From Play It Loud Everyone loves Michael Jackson’s music. So why hasn’t anyone taken time to make it playable for guitar? As of this writing there is only one tab book from Alfred Publishing that covers his stuff, which I don’t have. All that I have is the Number Ones PVG (Piano-Vocal-Guitar) book, which has chord diagrams above the sheet music and leads. Most players will not have the theory or fretboard knowledge to take what they’re hearing on record, and then translate it to guitar. In this E-Book, you’re going to get over a dozen of his riffs to play. Written by Matthew King at www.PlayItLoudBlog.com So first I’m going to do Billie Jean. The Chords are F#m, G#/F#, and F#m7 for the verse, then Bm7 before returning to the verse chords, and then using D and F#m to lead into the chorus. Play around with these chords until you can hear for yourself where they belong in the song. The tab would look something like this. ---2----4-----5---4------ ---2----4-----5---4------ ---2----4-----6---4------ --------4-----4---4------ ------------------------- ------------------------- Now to play a song like this you must identify how the chords match up with the melody, which in this case consists of the notes F#, G#, and A. Play these to get the melody in your head. The other chords (D and Bm7) aren’t strummed but could work nicely if arpeggiated. The funk guitar line later in the song consists of left hand mutes and the notes A, B, and C# which all lie within the key of F# minor. Playing them on the G string sound the best to me. G--X-X--2h4-2-x-4s6--X-XX--2h4-2-X-XX--2h4-2--- This is a little extra where I synced the bass line with the chords. Give it a shot if you want a challenge. --2------4----------5-----4---------- --2------4----------5-----4---------- --2------4----------6-----4---------- --4----2-4-2--------4---2-4-2-------- --4--4-------4-2-4----4-------4-2-4-- --2---------------------------------- Written by Matthew King at www.PlayItLoudBlog.com Another great funk line is from Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough which consists of the notes E – F# - A – B that can be played in the B minor pentatonic box. ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ----9-X-9------7-9-9-- -----------7h9-------- ---------------------- While we’re on that song here’s two more riffs: the first is the main chord sequence (A/B and B) then the short riff around the 2:41 mark. The chords for the second one are B - D/E - E/F# - B - A - B. ---------------------------------------------------- ---5-5-5-5--55-55---5-5-5-5--55-55--7-7-7-7--77-77-- ---6-6-6-6--66-66---6-6-6-6--66-66--8-8-8-8--88-88-- ---7-7-7-7--77-77---7-7-7-7--77-77--9-9-9-9--99-99-- ---X-X-X-X--XX-XX---X-X-X-X--XX-XX--X-X-X-X--XX-XX-- ---7-7-7-7--77-77---7-7-7-7--77-77--7-7-7-7--77-77-- Written by Matthew King at www.PlayItLoudBlog.com The chords aren’t played this much in the song but these chords sound a lot like something Pete Townshend would do so I put that up instead. This next riff is from the breakdown around the 2:30 mark. --7-7--5--5-5--4--4-4--2---2-0-2--4-5--- --7-7--7--7-7--5--5-5--4---4-2-4-------- --8-8--7--7-7--4--4-4--4---4-2-4-------- --9-9--7--7-7--4--4-4--4---4-2-4-------- -------0--0-0----------2---2-0-2-------- ---------------------------------------- What I’ve been doing is using a chord melody style of playing to give the guitar more of a synth or piano vibe. You can do this with not just Michael’s songs but lots of pop songs from just about anybody. Songs like Bad, Smooth Criminal, and Dirty Diana are dominated by bassline riffs that accent the drums. Once you know the notes, it’s quite easy to apply octaves or power chords to it in order to play it in more of a rock n’ roll way. The bass line of Bad for instance consists of the notes A – C – D – D# - E and repeats. I put power chords on it to thicken it up. Other than being really easy to throw in with just about any melody, power chords are great when you need something other than a full chord. ------------------------------- ------------------------------- --2--5--7--8-9---2-5--7--8-9--- --2--5--7--8-9---2-5--7--8-9--- --0--3--5--6-7---0-3--5--6-7--- -------------------3--5--6-7--- Written by Matthew King at www.PlayItLoudBlog.com Dirty Diana consists of the chord progression Gm – Eb – F, which can be played with a power chord at G, and then this shape (653), consisting of part of an Eb arpeggio, moving to F at fret 8 on the A string. You can play the following tab or just the chords. --3------------------------------- --3-------------4------6---------- --3----3---3----3------5---------- ----5----5------5------7----3h5--- --------------6------8---8-------- ---------------------------------- Smooth Criminal’s bass part goes like this on the 6th string: E--5-5-5-5-3-5-7--7-----5-7-8--8----7-8-7--3----5-- One more really cool riff that I’m very glad worked out so well is You Rock My World. They’re R&B chords so use your thumb and pay attention to those top notes. Written by Matthew King at www.PlayItLoudBlog.com -------------------------- --8-7-5--5-5--5-7-8--8-8-- --7-7-5--5-5--5-7-7--7-7-- --9-7-5--5-5--5-7-9--9-9-- ----------------5-7--7-7-- --8-7-5--5-5--5----------- The last song I’m going to talk about is one written especially for the guitar, Black or White. I’m struggling to figure out the logic that made the publisher decide to put a guitar-oriented song in PVG since it would mostly appeal to us anyway, but I’ll rest my case. Here’s the tab for my version the main riff: --5-5-5-5-5-4---2-2-2-2-2-2--4---- --5-5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5--5---- --4-4-4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4-4-4--4---- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Keep the 3rd finger anchored to the 5 (E) while using your other fingers to play the melody and other chord tones. One more really cool riff from this song I want to share is the one played during the “I am tired of this devil” section: ----------------X-3-3-3---------------X-5-5-5------- ----------------X-3-3-3---------------X-5-5-5------- ----------------X-1-1-1---------------X-2-2-2------- --------------------------------------X-2-2-2------- ---------------------------------------------------- --0-3p0-5p0-3p0---------0-3p0-5p0-3p0--------------- Well I hope you were able to cope with my unconventional style of sharing tabs and chords, and learned a couple of Michael’s songs that you wanted to learn. If you’ve got any questions about any of this I’ll be glad to help out. Written by Matthew King at www.PlayItLoudBlog.com .

  • Michael Jackson's Gesamtkunstwerk
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 11, No. 5 (November 2015) Michael Jackson’s Gesamtkunstwerk: Artistic Interrelation, Immersion, and Interactivity From the Studio to the Stadium Sylvia J. Martin Michael Jackson produced art in its most total sense. Throughout his forty-year career Jackson merged art forms, melded genres and styles, and promoted an ethos of unity in his work. Jackson’s mastery of combined song and dance is generally acknowledged as the hallmark of his performance. Scholars have not- ed Jackson’s place in the lengthy soul tradition of enmeshed movement and mu- sic (Mercer 39; Neal 2012) with musicologist Jacqueline Warwick describing Jackson as “embodied musicality” (Warwick 249). Jackson’s colleagues have also attested that even when off-stage and off-camera, singing and dancing were frequently inseparable for Jackson. James Ingram, co-songwriter of the Thriller album hit “PYT,” was astonished when he observed Jackson burst into dance moves while recording that song, since in Ingram’s studio experience singers typically conserve their breath for recording (Smiley). Similarly, Bruce Swedien, Jackson’s longtime studio recording engineer, told National Public Radio, “Re- cording [with Jackson] was never a static event. We used to record with the lights out in the studio, and I had him on my drum platform. Michael would dance on that as he did the vocals” (Swedien ix-x). Surveying his life-long body of work, Jackson’s creative capacities, in fact, encompassed acting, directing, producing, staging, and design as well as lyri- cism, music composition, dance, and choreography—and many of these across genres (Brackett 2012).

  • Understanding the White, Mainstream Appeal of Hip-Hop Music
    UNDERSTANDING THE WHITE, MAINSTREAM APPEAL OF HIP-HOP MUSIC: IS IT A FAD OR IS IT THE REAL THING? by JANISE MARIE BLACKSHEAR (Under the Direction of Tina M. Harris) ABSTRACT This study explores why young, White, suburban adults are consumers and fans of hip- hop music, considering it is a Black cultural art form that is specific to African-Americans. While the hip-hop music industry is predominately Black, studies consistently show that over 70% of its consumers are White. Through focus group data, this thesis revealed that hip-hop music is used by White listeners as a means for negotiating social group memberships (i.e. race, class). More importantly, the findings also contribute to the more public debate and dialogue that has plagued Black music, offering further evidence that White appropriation of Black cultural artifacts (e.g., jazz music) remains a constant, particularly in the case of hip-hop. While the findings are not generalizable to all young White suburban consumers of this genre of music, it may be inferred that a White racial identity does not help this group of consumers relate to hip- hop music.

Even as this article is written, controversy rages not only over the cause of his death but also the legacy he has left behind. 2 Michael manifested all that we loved and loathed of our humanity – a desire to restore the innocence of the world and yet a dark inclination towards deviant transgressions. He was very much an enigma that many imitated but few identifi ed with. Although he was a hypersensitive recluse victimized by an abusive childhood, his transformations of physiognomy caused him to be the focus of uninterrupted media attention. He reportedly gave millions to charitable organizations yet left behind an inheritance of debt and lawsuits.
