Great as always.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

thank you mraggrovator!

[@maomao180]

That's a very interesting way to interpret the chords. I usually see it as a IV - III7 - vi instead of bVI - V7 - i

[@TastyGuitarcom]

smurfpiss if it was part of a chord progression where the key center was C major instead of Am, like this case, you could surely interpret it that way. But since I'm demonstrating it here as just these 3 chords with Am the key center it makes sense to describe it this way.

[@patrickedwards2158]

Great Stuff

[@TastyGuitarcom]

thank you for watching!

[@austinhall2362]

Bruh you are on it. Could you do one using the whammy bar on neo Soul chord progressions?

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Austin Hall thanks but the whammy bar thing is something I don't really do, cool sound though and there are plenty of vids out there with people doing it already

[@jimbeaux4988]

Gorgeous! Cruise over? These would be great during a lead.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

yeah, it was awesome but its good to be back on dry land :)

[@3cardmonty602]

How about a lesson on "Tramp Groove" via Otis Redding & Carla Thomas - Stax Records?

[@TastyGuitarcom]

3 Card Monty will take a listen

[@3cardmonty602]

TastyGuitar.com Here is a link, but I can't quite figure it out because the audio is not the greatest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6a0oZiap5yKgs0

[@loontil]

@@TastyGuitarcom did you get it in bangkok? going there soon...

[@TastyGuitarcom]

@@loontil yeah you can get it in Bangkok but not sure where the shop is as it was a gift, will find out for you

[@tortelvis1]

Hi I'm a newbie to these sweet chords. Why do you go from an fmaj7 to another fmaj7 before going to the E7#9?

[@phatnana2379]

It's just a way to be tasty! Switching up the voicing of the same chord gives it a nice flow... You can stay on the first voicing of the Fmaj7 (xx755x) for the second beat too, instead of changing the voicing, and it will be the same riff. The 2nd voicing just gives the riff the essential Soul flavor

[@kentissue2215]

"Thrill is gone" turnaround.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

yep, that too

[@patrickmckay6621]

I mean what nasty individual would thumb this video down? ....
