Lick Information

In this lick we will take a look at several useful altered voicings.

Sound settings

Use the neck pickup and cut the high freqs with the tone knob if necessary.
I use the Mesa Boogie V-Twin preamp on the clean channel connected directly to the sound card and I'm adding a little bit of reverb and compression in the DAW.

Scales and Theory

This E7 altered chord is basicaly a seventh chord in which we replace one or more diatonic notes by non diatonic notes: the alterations are b9, #9, #11 and b13.
