I used to work in guitar shops. Got tired of it and started working security. One night while I was doing that, someone told me that the VP of Marshal was in town. Tracked this dude down in the Bar just so I could shake his hand. Turned out to be this guy right here. He’s a total dude and gentlemen.

03:14 In the chord diagrams, there would be great benefit to show the staff notation of notes as well. Then the 9th and so on, would be readable.

I’ve found alternating between major and minor chords is effective at keeping things interesting. Nothing’s more intriguing than a C major followed by an A minor. Or even playing an A major followed by an A minor.

Those embellishments are beautiful. ❤️ I am guilty of sneaking in the Cadd9. Even though I play heavily overdriven with distortion, I will use slightly cleaner chord embellishments by fingerpicking while stealing from traditional blues greats such as Big Bill Broonzy and Mississippi John Hurt. I tend to kick things in and switch to power chords, punctuated by rhythm pick scrapes or harmonics for the bridge or chorus; transitioning back to the fingerpicking. Any influence can potentially be taken- ….. or borrowed.

LOVE your sprinkles sir!

I do this in my songs. I may not know the names of the chords I create but they sound good to me.
