[@vasilshkutov2890]

Every once in a while, I find a new lesson in here that totally makes me stop doing wahtever and sit down with my guitar. Thanks for that!

[@ayushkatheria8232]

This might be the greatest guitar lesson on youtube along with the 10 basic jazz chords lesson. Sets any player up for almost all music. Thanks Good Sir.

[@joncard2941]

Thanks Justin, what a good teacher.

[@whoisjohnlamb]

Your lessons expand my playing so much. definitely taking me to the next level!

[@mikecullerton]

Justin, this is a great series. There's something here for everyone. Thank you for doing this.

[@RazorRiley]

Wasn’t sure who made the video till I clicked it, thank god it’s Justin 👌

[@danielebellemo5346]

All your lessons are just gold !!! Thank you very much Justin!!!👏👏👏👏👑👑👑👑

[@1755ma]

A big thank you for sharing your guitar and teaching skills with the masses.

[@paulmuller3203]

Really great video Justin! I know you do this for free and to help others who need to learn about chords, so thank you.

[@spoddie]

Justin mentioned it briefly but it is rarely mentioned in guitar tutorials - you don't have to play the root note - that's the bass players job.

[@dmitryWeirdo]

I like Justin very much for his positive, happy and kind method of talking in his videos.

[@hoyanlau2241]

Thanks Justin, you are one of the best teachers on KZbin

[@edquick7288]

Justin, once again, you are a genius. Thanks again for being the best teacher on the internet.

[@8478als]

Great lesson Justin!!! I never understood 9, 11, and 13 chords, but you showed how to play them! Thank you for this!!! I have to learn the theory behind it!

[@Euro.Patriot]

Write out the notes then choose an extension. A B C# D E F# G# A B C# D E F# G# Example: Amaj9 Notes required: 1, /\3, P5, /\7, /\9 A C# E G# B Think of 9ths as 2nds but an octave up from the root. Think of 11ths as 4ths but an octave up from the root. Think of 13ths as 6ths but an octave up from the root.

[@Ghefly]

a11/e = my new favourite chord.

[@marcoorru5981]

Omg after have been watching a lot of videos about 9ths and 11ths from dudes with whole lot of theory and fancy words I am finally able to understand that stuff. You are great, thank you

[@mdallen5]

Thank you! Your video makes it seem less overwhelming.

[@cp_was_taken]

I've been searching this for months, finally I found the lesson that explains this

[@bardknight]

You are one of the best teachers :) Love your videos.

[@BryanDenham]

thank you for your help its exciting to start to improve a little, i look forward to going over your lessons each day

[@LifesAdventures555]

If you look at the fingering at that frame, the root is implied at the 8th fret of the 6th string (not actually played). The 5th string is playing the 3rd interval. The 4th string is playing the 7flat. The3rd string is the 9th interval and the 2nd string is the 5th interval. Note that if you lean the pinky over to bar the 1st string you will get the C, which is the same as the Root at the 8th fret, 6th string. Hope this helps.

[@RANGERVETBRET]

enjoy ur long blues vids, alot of learning. your goin 2 make me a blues player yet. thank you 4 all you have done 4 me and the rest of the world. keep on keepin it on

[@aaronwkeech7328]

Born Under A Bad Sign and Stormy Monday are good ones to learn 9th chords with. They are so tasty.

[@TheChartTopper]

just did a harmonica solo over the backing track in this vid, it was emotional.

[@colindayo]

Super lesson Justin 👍

[@GeekyTrina]

I'm not near this far, but I always watch your new stuff :)

[@absurdplanet]

Who say's: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks?" All of these rhythm lessons have been an eye opener for me. I've played a gazillion Blues gigs--nonetheless, I pick up a few things from every lesson. I only wish I had tools like this, DVD's, and other online sources when I was a kid! Exemplary work Justin--you're doing the music world a great service.

[@MrWilkat1]

Good lesson and some great reminders--I got into a bit of a musical rut and decided this was a way out--it works--thanks!

[@SketchingRocks]

EXCELLENT!! thks so much Justin

[@JTRAIN]

Dominant 9 and 13th chords can also use a suspended 4th. That should be a great lesson idea.

[@josephiful1]

Golden!, I knew most of the chords already apart from that nice 13th voicing without the root, but never really knew how to apply them properly, just listening to you messing around with them at the end, has given me a real valuable incite into how to use them. Thanks again Justin your, really helping me improve my rhythm knowledge :)

[@erzengelgabriel89]

You are a so good teacher !!!! Thank you so much, i realy will enjoy slowly step by step

[@Chopstick_Will]

One word...GREAT! Cheers Justin!

[@evolutionist2010]

Cheers mate, can't believe how many chords i just learned!! Been watching your videos for about 2 years now, your doing a good thing man :)

[@EbarGeller]

@JustinSandercoe Great answer, so true. This site is alot of work and you need to be compensated. Thanks for being on the 'net. This 1st ad did startle, though - was from the "I am a Mormon" series. Yikes, we've been Mitt'd on Justin!

[@Victorbrotto]

Helped me a lot, awesome!

[@bluesbarrecordingsstomperm4914]

top teacher my friend Justin I am determent to succeed in learning the Blues with your help, just love the blues, cheers Dave

[@spaceman8408]

thanks man, remembering all the different root notes with the chord is not that easy but im getting used to it!

[@TheNego]

Love your teaching style and that you mention there are always exceptions to the rule.

[@gilgillis6193]

Very good! Thanks!

[@bogglor]

The best part of this video hands down is at 9:11 when he says the bass player is going to be "drilling away" at the root note. I couldn't help but laugh as it's such a perfect description of what a bass player is doing in most 12 bar blues.

[@cluelocker]

Good food for thought. About the Am chord shape with the sharped bass note... surprising chord call. At the nut you are making essentially a Bbm with the 5th string sharped and calling it a G9.

[@jonwill]

Great lesson and that delicious comping at the end is soulful!! Your phrasing is extraordinary. Wow!

[@kanyewest132]

Justin you are the best!

[@foxhound5702]

When it comes to these chord extensions i did some jotting down notes and stuff just for my own personal reference and i noticed that with a 9th chord all you're literally doing is taking away the root note, and replacing it with the note that's a full step higher which is this case is D (the 9th degree of the C major scale). and what makes these even cooler is like justin said they're moveable chord shapes =P

[@antonbuella9168]

Thank you.

[@FabianusHenryKambey]

Thank you, i do blessed with your teachings. God bless you

[@rickcypher4240]

Linking the chords becomes a real party!

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Excellent lesson Justin - thank you

[@PaulWoida]

I just appreciate you so much Justin!

[@blewis008]

Incredible backing track, some great little tricks in there!!

[@naitomea_st]

this is so great! I've always wondered when you should or could use other chords than the 7th chords!!

[@fabivs]

@pwazify Use firefox, search in the extensions page "AdBlock plus" install it and no more ads forever, really nothing at all, trust me, by the way I suggest you buying the DVD if you want t support Justin

[@LifesAdventures555]

Well done and very timely sir. Thank you again.

[@danhopkins2163]

but isn't the 6 string root a minor 7 flat 5 shape ?

[@SamJ-re3yq]

I thought so

[@Wikitoube]

You could also use the thumb to voice the root, so it isn't as ambiguous. Kinda non standard though pretty useful.

[@siddharths2712]

That’s right. C min7 b5 and Ab 9 have the same notes. C min 7b5 = C Eb Gb Bb and Ab 9 = Ab C Eb Bb. In the C gripping we leave out the fifth(Gb) and in the A gripping we leave out the root and so you end up with the same shape for both chords.

[@sehz1789]

free music school. saved my tuition

[@biaofadown]

Thank you Justin!

[@eyesonmedia]

Excellent lesson.

[@remork138]

@diego2888 from memory i think it's Emaj7, or Dmaj7, i forget. sure you'll figure it out. holding an A chord shape, drop the root note on the Gstring one fret.

[@davidmackey3046]

Like that F13 chord inversion!

[@ernal]

The things on the side of my head? You mean my pirates? Pirates I hear you say?! Yes, pirates...they are my bucaneers! :) Another great lesson Justin!

[@roncallahan40]

Hey You Rock!!!!!!

[@NeenaAndPapa]

Holy Schnikeys! The 1st C9 is challenging for long fingered guys. If you want to know what these extensions sound like listen to Wild Cherry's Play That Funky Music ..

[@Jery30917]

you are fantastic. Great lesson!!! thx a lot. it's important to get the orientation with the root note like you did:D...

[@SamuelLovesJesus]

Dude you're awesome! Very helpful lessons!

[@tonyhume100]

great lesson - solid good common guitar sense

[@Maupiti83]

thanks a lot Justin

[@JoeyLaake]

Very cool,awesome lesson!

[@billy_lyons]

Awesome Teacher! A+

[@Kryptic1234]

@bryan42690 Yes, you can think of the C9 as a Em7b5, but the root note (C) will be on the 8th fret of the 6th string. The lowest note you're playing is E, 7th fret 5th string, but that's not the root note. The root is not always the lowest note. In this case, you are not even playing the root note on the 6th string. We say it's "implied".

[@dorne]

This is also a good funk lesson!

[@mkrjvl7913]

this is video that im looking for

[@leascaart]

I play this lesson on a loop.

[@brianbesterwitch5283]

Good

[@brianbesterwitch5283]

I agree

[@greshko8]

i started playing that A13 with the root on Estring and just: ou yeaa Led Zeppelin - What is and what should never be :D

[@Abs9106]

Hey Justin, thanks for the great lesson. Still waiting for that Hotel California lesson though :P

[@danielrodriguezsaunders5691]

should do a quick demonstration at the begging of the video to know what kind of sound this video is teaching.

[@carlodefranco4760]

Daniel Rodriguez Saunders GibilterraGib

[@SamJ-re3yq]

I thought so

[@SkodisCZ]

Awesome! Thank you. :)

[@jeanjacquesrousseau1955]

Instant abo lol I play guitar since 12 years why did I never watch it starving for chord extensions I can't listen to the same shit anymore haha :D

[@Euro.Patriot]

Add9 = 🥵

[@joycemyers2172]

VERY VERY NICE!!

[@youguillerrmotube]

well taught, mate!

[@parneypots]

Been a subscriber a while cause the lessons have GREAT content....they are just Too long.... 5-10 minutes and I think you can get the core of the lesson across.

[@kppCustom]

Awesome lesson. I've just found your lessons and have watched a couple, really fantastic. I am learning a lot. I've been playing for 25 years but now finally trying to push my playing to the next level and get some new chords going (I'm primarily a metal head so mostly power chords and solos). Cheers man :-)

[@stevenaustin4591]

if you were to harmonize any scale (say A Major for ex) in 9ths, what chords would be in there?

[@BluesHeavy]

Justin, Your videos are just great I have picked up various things from all your videos. I have one question could you do a video similar to the Dominant 7 video but using 9ths and 13ths extension? Like you I prefer using smaller versions of the chords when playing with a full band plus those smaller chords are great for funkier blues

[@BobBurnnquist]

LIVE LONG TEH BLUES

[@frost0813]

Us fat fingered guys have SOME advantages. On the second version of the C9 chord, I am able to cover both third and second strings at the 3rd fret, which leaves my pinky available for the first string 3rd fret. I also use the two strings with one finger technique at the low end, gettine both the root, and the fith below (sixth @ 3rd fret) giving me the full six string chord.

[@TheIndoFusion]

Can we play G13th without G rote note?

[@larryfarkas]

Thanx

[@nudebikergirl]

"you probably don't want to be wretching while playing guitar" - :D

[@mcd5778]

isn't the 9th rootedo n the 6th the same shape as a maj7 rooted on the 5th string?

[@synapsefire123]

I fuckin’ love this guy. Great lessons!

[@dcool2u2]

So why is the C9 at the 3rd fret called a 5th string root and the C9 at the 7th fret is called a 6th string root when the 6th string root doesn't use the 6th string?

[@theinternetexploreruser4276]

what is the chord at 16:36 and 16:39? Is it (x 8 7 8 6 8) and (x 10 9 10 8 10)? Like a harder version of F9 an G9?

[@rileykauzlaric1114]

I was just curious as to how I could move that last 13th chord around the fretboard. My confusion being because he was playing an F 13th while using an Eb as the root note of the chord.

[@jurepog]

I'm confused... your 9 chord shape looks exactly like diminished chords.... are those the same thing? I thought 9, 11 and 13 were supposed to be extended.

[@08blacki]

What exact Tele is this Justin that u use.Love ti!Looks like the hwy 1 Tele I purchase which is awesome but despise the jumbo frets.Your thoughts?

[@diego2888]

what's the name of the chord played at Under the bridge by RHCP before the song goes into the chorus???

[@brostomper]

that second C chord at 4:21 looks just like the diminished chord moved one string lower

[@crohno]

just one question the voicing at 3:40 its lacking the five(G) i've already seen some extended chords without the 5th, especially in piano, so can you always take out the 5th in extended chords?

[@raghavrao5221]

lautaro russo yep. in decreasing importance: 3rd and 7th root (especially if you have a bass player) 5th extensions
