Fig. 4 is from the soulful sixties and is based upon “Love the Way You Love.” With economy and tasteful simplicity, Ike accompanies the I and
IV changes in measures 1 and 2 with the graceful arpeggiation of the triadic tones for each chord. Note the hip dyads in measure 3 that imply C
(root and 3rd) and G (3rd and 5th). At this juncture in his career, Ike was absolutely content to assume a supporting role in his band, allowing his
singers and soloists to command the glare of the spotlight.

Based on the instrumental funk ditty called “Scotty Souling,” Fig. 5 employs major scale patterns that Jimi Hendrix would later incorporate as well.
In this position, the root, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th notes fall right under your fingers. Though broken into syncopated increments of one measure each,
these four measures actually constitute one complete musical idea that would not begin to repeat the cycle until measure 5 (not shown).
If you barre fret 9 with your index finger, you can access all the notes (except the E at fret 7 on string 5 in measures 1 and 3) without changing
hand positions. After that, all you will need to cop the appropriate vibe is an iridescent suit, dark shades, and your Strat set in the funk notch
between the middle and bridge pickups.
