Simple Jazz Blues Progression on the guitar

[mr12note]

straight blues - not jazz dude - smoke another one come back a few years later

Good Luck

Its Simple Dumbass

[jasaggio]

i would not say this is jazz...using 7ths and 9ths implies a the beginning of a jazz vibe but where is the 2 or the 6?

[djteleboy]

this is not jazz,,

[FTStratLP]

@djteleboy

He does not say it's jazz! He calls the lesson "Simple Jazz Blues Progression". And it is definitely jazz blues what he plays!!

[dealer205]

Basics ok for me! good lesson.

[123jozef]

This is a beginners lesson- and yeah, most who understand theory realize if a dominant 7th works, so will a major third, and, of course a 2nd... (a 9th) lol. Throw in a 6th and call it good. Wait, I forgot to add a flatted fifth... coolio.

[MBruno725]

to be fair - the e7 and e9 in that type of progression are pretty interchangeable. You could use either.

[musicprodave]

Thats an E9 not an E7

[TVMAN1112]

@musicprodave Well without the top two strings it is an E7.

[musicprodave]

@TVMAN1112 with respect, he is playing an E9 not an E7

[TVMAN1112]

@musicprodave Very true, but all a ninth chord is is a seventh with the ninth degree of the scale added in... but yes, you're right.

[grimmduder]

@TVMAN1112 Actually the F# on the 'B' string is all he needs to cover for that E9, which he is.

[rickso12]

it's a little basic,

[kigwa1989]

thanks a lot dude!!

[bloggerjoe]

You must have tuned your guitar down a half step to E Flat. You are actually playing in B Flat, which may be confusing to young impressionable minds ;-)

[pliskinn0089]

is he in b flat?

[bloggerjoe]

Yeah, he's tuned his guitar down a half-step, so it looks like he's in B, but he's actually in B Flat.

If you want to play along with this, you can just shift your fingers down one fret.

I don't know why so many blues players (i.e. Stevie Ray Vaughn) tuned their guitars to E Flat... there's a good research project for someone ;-)

[chuckwestband]

You can bend your strings easier and it sounds a little different.

[1LifeToGo]

that camera, sucks...

[wogara]

well, its an E9/11

[jjbennett123]

Thats an E9 mate not an E7.

[karmin]

thanks man!
