- playaxeman6th December 2008
  Loved this lesson (again !! :-))
  
  This is really a blues you can feel, love to play over it.
  
  I wondered how to play the chords like
  Amadd9
  Amadd9/G
  E7/9+
  
  Cheers
- Muris Varajic6th December 2008
  This is Amadd9
```
---0---------

  This is Amadd9/G
```
----0-----------

  And finally E7/+9

  You're very welcome.

  Great lesson Muris!
  Don't want to bog you down in theory, but you're using some unusual chords I haven't come across before. Just wondered how they fit in with A minor, an dhow the 'extra' notes from the chords 'work' with the melody. Perhaps it's just a 'nice' chord progression that you picked a few notes out of to create the melody...?
  This will keep me going for a while...!

- kevvyg26th March 2009
  Sorry Muris, I left off my 'for example'!
  For example, how does the 'C' (2nd string 13 fret, Bar 1), fit in with the E7+9? When I see a note in the melody that's not in the accompanying chord, it throws me. I know E7+9 is E-G#-B-D-G, and you're not playing the 5th, but what's the reason for the C? It shouldn't fit, but it does!! Help!!
  
  Kevin
- Muris Varajic27th March 2009
  Hi Kevin.
  
  7+9 type of chord is very often in blues progression,
  specially in minor keys as 5th degree chord or dominant chord.
  Note C isn't involved in this chord as you have noticed
  but blues players don't follow progression all the time
  as jazz players do per example, note C in just a note
  from Am pentatonic scale, they do pentatonic a lot.
  On the other hand you can look at this C note as B#
  and then you get kind of +5 feel, sweet jazzy sounding note.
- kevvyg27th March 2009
  Thanks Muris!
  I try these chords out!
  I think I'll learn the track and worry about the theory later. I guess the rule of thumb is to be aware of the theory, but don't let it get in the way! I suppose if a note sounds good, it doesn't really matter if it's in the scale or not!

  Well kind of, tho you should know WHY some note sounds
  good even if it's not in scale or chord.
- kevvyg31st March 2009
  Can I just ask....I'm not sure what you mean by +5. As the key is Amin, would 'C' (or B#), not be the minor 3rd (or augmented 2nd)? I assume +5 is augmented 5th, which should be E# (or F).
  Thanks!
  
  Kevin
  ps sorry if I'm being a bit dim...!
- Muris Varajic31st March 2009
  I was talking about E aug or E+5, not A aug,
  5th is B and +5 is B# or C.
  I said 5th degree in key,
  this is Am key and 5th degree is E.
- kevvyg2nd April 2009
  Thanks for clearing that up Muris - time to practice I think!
