    This is an awesome guitar lesson sort of a two sided golden coin, theory is taught and the exercises are demonstrated, such as chord progressions, licks and riffs.
    I love it!😊

    Once this ‘clicks’ it’s almost forehead slappingly obvious - but it’s taken me 20
    years to figure out 😂🤣
    Works brilliantly at blues jams (especially if you’re the 2nd guitarist). Simple yet makes you sound like a pro 👍🏻 sometimes less really is more 😎

    Rightio. Can I say, after 27 years on guitar, this video has single handedly connected all the dots for me. I could never understand why, when I picked jazz chords, they never seemed to gel. No longer! I really like adding a raised then a lowered 2nd to the E7 for that juicy tension resolving to the E in the A7. Thanks Jamey, legend.

    ‘Been playing 50+ years “by ear”. Self taught. I learned basic music theory before I even knew what it was. This video does a good job explaining technically what I taught myself.
    But at least now I could have a musical conversation with a technical player and not have to go sit in the corner 😊

    • @JameyArent
      @JameyArent  11 місяців тому

      No, it gives a quacking out of phase sound that’s great for blues. That’s what should happen. If yours cuts the volume completely you should get it looked at.

    • @JameyArent
      @JameyArent  11 місяців тому +1

      You could totally throw in 11s too! I probably left them out of this video because they are less commonly heard in blues compared to the 9th and 13th due to their proximity to the major 3rd.
