I'm a pretty advanced guitar player and no, Jimmy, no I don't know actually. haha

[xxmatt95xx]

i like his beard haha

[Jalbertmusic]

@krystalblacktrio it's all about the diminished... ties all the bebop shit together. any dominant b9, #9 thing

[adlegol]

@krystalblacktrio Yeah he says "ya know" a lot in all his videos, and yes I too do not "know"... He definately knows his stuff and plays in a really unique style..

[naturaljoe13]

Awesome!

@jeffreyhsykes ha no problem man. I personally enjoy learning the science behind music, but only to apply it in the way Herring does. I study this guy day in and day out, and well, still have a lot of catching up to do. Music isn't about impressing other musicians though, so never let any of the self-proclaimed "elitists" make you feel like your thoughts aren't as important just because you only know the modes. Herring's solo album is great though. New moon is so, hauntingly enchanting ha

[jeffreyhsykes]

@blueindian18 Thanks man. I am a relative novice. I just know the modes and that's about as far as I will get at 40 years old. I have loved Jimmy Herring since I discovered him with Col. Bruce and ARU. So glad to have his solo CD. New Moon is so awesome with Trucks and he playing. Peace.

@jeffreyhsykes he says "a typical ii7 chord, not a dominant one." The second degree of the Bb major scale would be C, and the triad built of it would be major, and if a seventh was added it would be a whole step from the root. Typically, the II chord is minor though. Like, d minor is the ii in the key of C major

is he really speaking english?? dear god i need to go study for about a thousand more years so i can play like him

[AzarProductionsLLC]

Hah, and I thought I knew a decent amount about scales....

[speedfiend74]

6 dislikes?!?!?!?! Go pack to playing your fisher price xylophone and leave the music to real musicians.  Love some Widespread, thanks for the lesson Jimmy.
