June 2026 Challenge Response

[Wayne Nunez]

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.

You really came up with something special there, Wayne. Nice rhythm with interesting chords, and your lead playing really spices it up a lot.

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 👍🎶😎

Great groove, really catchy licks! Well done!

[Mike W]

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

[Michael Krailo]

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. 😀

Sounds great, Wayne. Bravo for doing sth unusual.
I like the idea with the Hendrix chords as rhythm.
Great licks in there!

More Blues!

[Michael L]

Hey Wayne, you have some good chord tone licks in there, and solid vibe. I liked it!

[JoLa]

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!
