  Hello friends this was such a good challenge I had several i was working on but chose this simple two chord loop,I chose F7#9 (the Hendricks Chord) and B flat 7#9,i chose to do this in F and B flat as opposed to E and A for the simple reason that sometimes I get to comfortable playing open chords and by the dots,so I moved it up a fret to try to gain more fret board knowledge and solo in different locations,but this could easily be played in E 7 and A7 ,anyway i hope yall enjoy it and I look forward to everyone else’s response!

  Way to go Wayne – now my brain is totally fried trying to comprehend those weird chords! I use the Hendrix chord about 2 – 3 times per year, and B flat 7#9 about once every 3 years…… I guess that’s an admission that I should be practicing more.

  Great idea Wayne. I like the poppy sound of your Tele. It’s like you were on an exploratory mission with those chords. I like the licks you discovered.

  I struggled at first to get a handle on your beat, Wayne – but that’s no criticism at all; it kept me engaged! I then started thinking of the song “Use Me” by Bill Withers. – Mark 👍🎶😎

  Good submission, Wayne – good choice of chords makes it very different to most submissions and delivers an interesting sound.

  You win the award for picking the most unusual two chords. I love songs that use the Hendrix chord, but this one really used it. I heard the Bill Withers song in there as well.
  
  Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

  A cool groove with some tasty leads, Wayne. You get extra credit for playing in the odd keys. 😀

  Your chord choice was very intriguing, couldn’t wait to hear them! You turned it into a very cool vintage sounding jam with a nice rhythmic solo as well. Love the creativity here, Wayne!
