A great and easy to follow and understand lesson again! Thanks for that! Here I'd like to request a youtube lesson about those rhythms used for breaks here and there including those shi-da-da-booms :) Would be great!

@JuKeBox661 Good idea. Look for it soon.

So, if I comprehend this properly, the foundation is the four dom7 cord notes. Then add the three additional notse to flesh out the mixolydian mode for the root note of each cord.. Lastly throw in some chromatic notes to help smooth and better define the cord changes.

@syberraith That's it in a nutshell.
