Hey Pebber, Great lesson man!

I love the Jeff Beck and Zep examples of the 9th-chord usage. BTW, on the Zep-tune ("The Crunge") I always thought they went from A9 to D9 for that B-section (as opposed to the V-Dom=E9) I guess it always seemed like the "James Brown-style" tunes spent a lot of time on the I-Dom and then usually went to the IV-Dom for his typical B-sections. I shouldn't have assumed Zep went to the IV-Dom (I must be a "sucky weakling" - LOL!)

BTW, great fingering advice too!

@earlybird1965 No you are right its D9. I wasnt demonstrating a song dude just a technique.

I just subscribed recently mate, I'm so glad that I did, you explain things well so that it's so easy for someone like myself only knowing a very basic level of theory can get to grips with. I've played guitar for 14 years now, but fell in love with jazz. I felt it was mandatory to embrace music theory more for jazz, especially with it being a more complex musical style. Kind regards Karl

P.S is there any possiblity that you will do a video on the al di meola mutola technique?

[pebberbrown]

@catacomb1984 Di Meola - hmm well I have thought about it but theres a ton of other stuff I want to do first - let me think about it more........

[FlitcraftEvanidus]

I think, incidentally, that the people who "don't get it" don't get it because of a deficiency in their ability to use logic. All of this clicks together once you actually exercise some mental effort, try to discern what it is that grounds everything. E.g., these chords don't just come out of thin air and aren't merely a subject of memorization; they are founded on certain quite immovable harmonic laws.

[pebberbrown]

@FlitcraftEvanidus Yes - Mental Effort is the whole key! I run into so many kids who dont even have a clue as to what mental effort is - because its never required of them EVER. To engage their brain in any way is UNCOMFORTABLE for them so they avoid it at all costs and our school system, parent system and video game systems encourage it as well.....

@catacomb1984 it won't let me post the youtube video, but here is the address: youtube dot com /watch?v=D7GddopmZtg

[catacomb1984]

@pebberbrown he says his movement comes from the wrist here, is he using thumb and forefinger movement here as well? or is it a form of scalpel picking?

[schectersensei]

pebber you troll! hahah 6:45 made me chuckle quite heavily.

Pebber normally wants his students to build chords from different scale patterns. He wants you to know the scale, notes within the scale, and degrees within the scale. It is work, but once you start to learn all three, making a b5#9 chord becomes so easy. You see any major chord, immediately see all the root(s),3rd's, 5th's, etc. You know where the degrees are within the scale to make a b5 or #9, #13, etc. Listen to Pebber! He knows his shit!

[earlybird1965]

@pebberbrown,

Yeah, and it's an AWESOME technique that you have! Do you ever put your guitar down man? You're unbelievably good (and knowledgable) about ALL things music. You're like an encyclopedia, that can play it's ass off - LOL!

I gotta learn that Jeff Beck tune! I love how you (and Jeff on the original version) do the "added-pinky" Dominant-13th thing in such a catchy (and funky) way!

You've gotta be the best teacher EVER!

Rock on!
