"Swinging" is a note-for-note transcription of Ralph Mooney's kick off to "Swingin' Doors". The progression is a F chord into a Bb, this being a V-I progression.
This intro lick includes a treasure trove of great ideas: First is the use of the IV over the I. This is our secondary subdominant. Next, we take the root and third of F and use a release bend to lower the A down to G. This will create an interval of a second, typically a pretty dissonant sound. We slide this interval down a whole step to access the b7th and root of F. Tapping into the dominant 7th is going to help pull us into the Bb chord. In Bb, we're outlining the chord tones by targeting the b7th, 5th, 3rd and root. We connect the 3rd to the root diatonically by bending in and out of the 2nd.
