Monk,

Here's what I'm hearing,

Verse: (4 counts each)

Dm9 Dm9 Am7 Am7 Dm9 E7#9 Am7 Am7

Dm9 E7#9 Am7 D9 F9 E7#9#5 Am7 Am7 Am7 Am7

Hope this helps.

Rob

Hey Paddy,

The chords for that secton are Eb9 for the "now you're gone", and then C9. Also, try using D7#9 for the stabs.

I was just playing that tune, and saw your post.

Have fun! ...

Alas, here we have another reminder to make every effort to leave our cocoons and get out to see great players whenever we have the opportunity. Add another member to the big jam in the sky...

J,

What a great opportunity you have, to start your boy on the guitar journey! Well, if I had a 10 yr old, I would teach him to play some simple songs by memory first, rather than getting into a bo ...

Whoa, pretty inspiring up towards Rocky Mountain way... I end up in Denver now and then. Maybe we need a page where players can find local jam buddies. At least we would have good taste in music to s ...

Brannon,

Looks like you've got the bases covered with your gittar collection, and a killer amp. Lots of good music and players down south. I especially like New Orleans. Did you buy your Fuch amp d ...

Hey Guys,

Rob (rainmakr63), that sounds great! The LC ...

The most likely explanation is that RF just felt like putting it in, even though it's a note outside the scale that surrounds it. Probably doesn't hurt being the b7 relative to the F9. It also sounds ...

I don't know any drummers yet. I'm new to the area, so just starting to look around. Also, I'm out of town a lot, on the road for work (not playing). I take a travel electric guitar with me, and a Pan ...

It's not all that far from San Clemente to LA...
I take my guitars to John Carruthers in Venice, takes about an hour. Maybe a monthly get-together would be the way to go. There must be a lot of play ...

Friends,

It would be great to be able to find other local players and jam! Especially since there would be some commonality, ie, appreciating great guitar music, and perhaps knowing some of the sam ...

Handmadeza,

The intro chord is an A major, with a few notes added. First, play the A chord with your first finger barred across the 2nd 3rd and 4th strings, all on the second fret. (keep your finge ...

Lots of great information here.

One simple technique I like to use is to think of Fmaj7 while playing over Dm. The easiest way to do this is to play the notes from the Fmaj7 arpeggio: F A C ...
