It's time to do the following :

  • Fret all of the guitar chords in E flat (the Diatonic Triads above).
  • Practice the scale - play it 50 times.
  • Play the Chord Scale (play chords as you would a scale with any beat count). I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-viio-I
  • Play progressions: I-vi-ii-V7-I and I-V-IV-I.
  • Write your own progression, using the following in mind, but not necessarily sticking to:

What's the add9 in the C minor chord?

add9 means literally that we've added a 9 to the chord. The 9 of C is D. 123456789 = cdefgabcd. D is also the 2, and we could call an add9 chord an add2 (sometimes you'll see just a 2, like C2, but this isn't very common).

If the chord was Cm9, without the add part, this would mean that there is a flat 7 present in the chord, along with the 9.

We've included the D in this C minor chord to make it strum-friendly. If we didn't add this tone, we'd have to find a way to mute it if we were strumming. Mine as well just fret this string - it is a great sounding chord.

We could fret the C - the first fret on the 2nd string - to keep a pure Cm, yet this can be a bit of a struggle. We are not here to struggle. We are here to jam.

What are the gray boxes in the scale frame?

On I Love Guitar, we try to stick to this key for most materials.>
