The Add 9 arpeggio consists of four notes: the root, third, fifth and ninth steps of the major scale. The ninth is the octave of the second scale degree so we will think in terms of a condensed arpeggio, ie 1 2 3 5. This places all four notes within one octave.
Consult example one to see which scales the Add 9 arpeggio is a subset of. As you can see, 1 2 3 5 is a subset of four different scales. The Ionian 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 , the Lydian 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7, the mixolydian 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7. What this means is that everything you learn in this group of lessons can be used when dealing with these four scales. You may add other notes from the prevailing tonality to color the Add 9 arpeggio to convey the harmonic color of your choice.

By thinking in terms of note subsets, you can then thoroughly research all applications of note groups. Be sure to apply this principle to everything you learn.

@oOBulletsaint lol im a really good player but i dont know any theory and im soo lostttt when i try to learn it... its like math for me l0l >.< so yeh lmao.. =/

[username91ification]

If you stopped talking this lesson wouldn't be "advanced." 

[NickSurfate]

@Begger294 - I totally agree. I was about to post a comment about that. It's your own fault if you don't understand. I'm not calling anyone a dumbass, cos learning music theory is like learning a new language, effectively. It's like me commenting on a German video, bitching cos I didn't understand it. Just owning an instrument doesn't make you a Musician.

Next Video Please.. Pfftt!

Lol @ people saying "he just expects us to understand" ... Well yeah, that's where the "advanced theory" comes in. I've taken 4 semesters of theory and I know exactly what this guy is talking about. The utilization of add9 arpeggios isn't advanced, any regular jackass can do it, but when you explain it theoretically, it seems a lot more complicated than it is.

[fred1395durst]

pretty impressive, but can he play smoke on the water?

[BlitzkriegATX]

I wouldn't call this advanced. It's very simple to play. You're just talking like a jackass so only a select few people can understand ANYTHING that you're talking about.

I met a guy that sold a software program to Sony when they were getting into computers, he got three mil and retired in his early thirties. He decided to learn jazz guitar from scratch, and within three years he was pretty good, playing in full on jazz bands etc And his explanation was that jazz was very much like maths to him. I hate maths personally. I guess some of the sound is arppegios, and I came across this vid as I was told that I should start learning m7b5 arpps

Comes in handy for jazz shred

[MrISAACFACE]

...this guy isnt talking about incredibly complex stuff...I can maybe understand if you dont know what the random big words mean, but no one understands basic scale degrees? I guess marching band geeks really do get the last laugh :P

I've been playing guitar for 26 years. I teach guitar, and build them as well. And I took two years of Music Theory in college. And I still can just vaguely understand what the fuck this guy is talking about.
