sevenths, ninths, eleventh and thirteenths. The last 3 of these are
constructed by taking a seventh and adding, respectively, the second,
fourth or sixth note of the scale. The addition of these notes adds a
different colour to the sound of the chord. A cool, and practical,
application of these chords is to play the C Mixolydian scale (C-D-E-F-
G-A-Bb-C) where each note is at the top of one of these chords. I was
also shown several combinations of these chords that work well for a
blues-style rhythm.
I've also got another little blues piece to chew on. This one is a
"Mixolydian blues", with a straight sixteenths feel. There's a lot
more notes than the one from last week, so it will probably take a bit
more work to learn.
