To me the use of the major 7th note has has always given a unique magical feel to a song.
You used well it in lesson EP466. Misused it can sound terrible.
As always, I love it and can’t wait to learn it. Thank you Brian
This is an awesome lesson!!! Thank you for all your efforts!
Wow! This is a 4th of July Blast! One of the best you’ve written Brian. Just starting this one and can’t get through it all because it just wants to take me all over the board improvising and enjoying the sound of an extra note.
Very classy jazzy and bluesy composition. Love those extra color notes that you added. Really dresses up the Maj. Pent. Scale and keeps things from sounding cliche. Perfect Humbucker tone too.
Great lesson thanks Brian
Sweet !!!
Another great sounding lesson that will be a lot of fun to play. Lots of good licks to steal and it’s hard to beat that maj 7 sound, especially when mixed with other colorful sounds like the diminished 7th and the secondary dominates. Reminds me of some of your older jazz blues tunes. I like where your ear takes you and hope that I can pick up on some of this myself. I always appreciate these types of beautiful progressions and solo’s. Lot’s to learn here.
