Blues You Can Use!! Demo 01: Blues Chords in B

NOTE: At one point I say "Bflat"...obviously this is ALL in B.

I'm starting off a new series for the "My Les Paul Forums". This will be an ongoing series where I try to get close ups of my hands to show what I'm doing and maybe help some people spice up their playing and maybe learn some things.

By the way maestro, this particular chord you like a lot that you start with is an

A maj9#11 with out a third. Pretty cool. The SRV cord is a b9 without a 5th. Leaving the 3rd and 5th out of chords like this makes it sound a bit discordant, and gives it a nice off balance feel that begs to be resolved.

Thanks

Hi Da,

What chord is that about 2.32?

EADGBE (nut)

054500 ?

And the third chord?

Love that swing feeling.

Thanks Dan

Can't see it clearly...

[skydog46]

It's an E9....you could play it as a triad the way you have notated...but you wouldn't play the other strings. 3rd chord is the "5" of this 1 4 5 progession. So, it is an F#9. I'm starting them a half step down and sliding up...to give the progession some motion!
