QJT is so awesome. I wanna go to the Netherlands just to meet him. My playing has skyrocketed since I discovered this channel. Using all of this knowledge on piano, too. Amazing, awesome, intelligent, articulate guitar teacher.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks a million Jake!

[@Amatteus]

I also want to go to Holland.. This teacher is one of the best..

[@jtwolfstories]

@@Amatteus What a coniscidence. I havbe not been playing much lately and just literally sat down to QJam as soon as you made that comment. I like to use his theory for piano, too. He is pretty much the most articulate guitar man I have found. He and this piano teacher from Holland speak better English than me., Embarrasing.

[@Amatteus]

@@jtwolfstories Not only the content.. But the graphics are also top quality. A pleasure to listen and see.... Yesterdady i learn about modal harmony, something new to me.. You can apply in piano also.. Mot things he explain are the same for any instrument... Piano and guitar both make music with chords.. So, intervales, scales and chord progresions with rythm is what you need to make music.

[@jtwolfstories]

@@Amatteus I think he's a graphic designer. But, yeah, you are correct. I duno why I mentioned the piano, as I already had. I am gld to see there are other folks on here not just making negative comments. Take care!

[@blackcitadel37]

Finding this dude and his channel is like finding a treasure chest you didn't unburied.

[@sorinromanescu2909]

At 3:55 there is a mistake: the Dadd9 chord in the diagram is major while the sound of the chord on the audiotrack is minor

[@QJamTracks]

Ai dreptate Sorin. Este un greseala. Scuza :) You're right Sorin it's an error...Excuse me.

[@radiozelaza]

Every Breath You Take lick was written by Andy Summers, actually. But add9 were already such a staple of Police sound that he could not come up with anything else, could he? Message In A Bottle has the legendary sus2/add9 arpeggiated riff

[@QJamTracks]

Yes indeed it's commonly used by the Police :)

[@zipperhead101]

At 4:26, you said “second and seventh degrees”. I’m sure you meant to say “third and seventh” as the diagram shows. PS, I love your channel!

[@QJamTracks]

Indeed :) And thanks man!

[@timclay8277]

@@QJamTracks minor error ( 🤓 ) ... 06:40 ish title says major add 9 but demonstrates minor add 9 Love love your videos... they are so inspiring.

[@zipperhead101]

I swear I love this, I'm not picking on ya. I'm just so engrossed and I'm totally diccecting this to learn it. At 6:42, if you ever decide to edit this, the heading should say "Minor" instead of "Major". Sincerely, thank you for this and all your material. This is one of your videos that I decided to actually hit rewind and play and rewind and play and grab screen shots of. I'll be spending some quality time on this one for sure!

[@QJamTracks]

you're right! I made an error there... Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for comment Burlap

[@motorhead4786]

Which one books you prefer for advance level .. All Arpeggions, ,Scele , moods , Chords progression & solo sequence modulation changing key

[@QJamTracks]

Hard to say. I'm making my material for students myself, but I know that all books of Berklee Music are of high quality

[@michaelcraig9449]

Where can I find simple diagrams of 9th 11th and 13th arpeggios, to learn them first.

[@tonypowell250]

That Steve Vai song though.

[@QJamTracks]

:)

[@markmorgan5982]

At 4:25 - is the major add9 found on the 2nd or the 3rd degree? Very cool video, thanks for sharing

[@JManoj]

0:23 as per notation it will be Fadd9 & Abadd9 ?

[@kaganozmeric9822]

Waiting on a Friend by Rolling Stones begins with Cadd9 and F. The maj chord is a song in itself for me. But most of the chord shapes are really uncomfortable because of the stretch required for the smaller hands.

[@jesusvillavicencio2169]

Awesome class. Is n't the chord at 3:13 a minor chord, Dmadd9? Thank you.

[@no-tf1ry]

Hello , Great Channel with lot of information. I have Question ,, at 4:21 you said that add9 chord appear at specific degrees on the major scale except the 2nd and the 7th degree. But in your example of the C Major scale you left out the 3rd degree and 7th degree.

[@QJamTracks]

I said that wrong. It should be the 3rd and 7th.

[@no-tf1ry]

@@QJamTracks You are doing a great job !!!!!!!

[@zipperhead101]

You showed that the Lydian mode had usable added 9 chords at all degrees except the fourth and seventh. What about the non-usable degrees for the other modes? Also fourth and seventh? Or are the all unique. If you have a video that covers that, I’d sure like to see it. Thank you!

[@QJamTracks]

Hi Burlap. Add9 chords without alteration (b5 and b9) occur in every mode on different degrees, because the starting point of the modes shift in the diatonic major scale.

[@JD-li1xw]

Hi and thanks for the wonderful video but there is an error around 6.46 where you are playing minor 9 arpeggios but you show a major pattern for the minor arpeggio starting on the 5th string. Also the title says Major but of course it should read minor. i thought you should be aware of this. keep up the great work!

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks JD. Indeed I made a mistake there...

[@JD-li1xw]

@@QJamTracks We are all human. If i could play guitar even half as well as you I'd be very happy. Your videos are excellent. Thank you!

[@cheeyuenchan7276]

hi just want to clarify that at 3:16, the Dadd9 chord played and shown is somewhat different? I think a Dminor add9 was played but the graphic shown was a Dadd9... do correct me if im wrong.... ;)

[@molotulo8808]

Zappa

[@pooyanmalekmahmoodi]

dude check (3:55 )that voice is not major add9 its a D minor add9 chord

[@QJamTracks]

yes unfortunate error

[@chrisrosencrans]

Add9 arpeggios always sound like Final Fantasy music lol

[@Stringprodigy]

They're called ADD 9 not ADDED 9 chords. Also, it's "Every Breath You Take" not "She Takes".

[@QJamTracks]

I really thought she took it ;)

[@ceneg]

Great. Really thorough and well=presented. Cheers!
