It's a great lesson, would consider adding a harmony chord tab / notation pdf with all chords and their different voicings you discuss ?
It would help when following the lesson and clarify the chord fingerings.

Thanks for taking on my comments.
I'm getting there, slowly, it takes a lot of video pausing etc.
Another great lesson, thanks

:ohmy:
I understand the voice leading explanation, keeping the chord tones all on the second string and close to one another.
Can anyone explain some theory for me with respect to the chords ?
Chords in the key of Bb Major:
1.Bbmaj7, 2. Cm7, 3. Dm7, 4. Ebmaj7, 5. F7, 6. Gmin7, 7. Am7b5
Where does the Em7b5 come from as the key of Bb has an Ebmaj7 chord in it ?
Where does the A7b9 come from when the key of Bb has an Am7b5.
Can anyone throw me a bone (big one)

I've been struggling over the chords, getting there but need some help.
In Stella by Starlight there's a G7b9 Chord in the tab.
Isn't that a G#7b9 you are playing in the second video ?
All tab I've seen shows a G7b9, what are your thoughts on this ? :unsure:

Hi Dermot,
I'll throw you one. I actually recall that Max explains this in the lesson. Have you watched both parts just yet?
In short, the b9 is in the bass. The other notes he's fretting are the b7, the 3rd and the 5th (of a G chord), maybe the root on top (probably not). I recall he also shows playing the b9 on top instead of on the bottom.

Edit: Actually he explains this in part 1, around 3.30 into the video. He's talking about the A7b9, same idea but a whole step up obviously. He uses the same shape for F7b9.Max

Thanks, it was just tthe chord name I was wondering about.
As you say it's just a G chord with the root raised to a half step to G#.
I suppose that's why it's called a G7b9 on the tab.
What about G7b9 /G# in the bass :dry: or G7b9 / Ab :dry: in the bass ?
