Hi friend,

Let's get right to work. Today's tip is a combination of a chord and a progression:

****************************

#2 of 13


"The Minor Ninth Chord in C#"

Bass = C#

Right hand = E + G# + B + D#


I like to use this chord progression in a "1-4" turnaround. For example, it creates a nice groove when you change the 3rd finger from "B" to "A# (or Bb)" Now, if you do this, you must also change the bass to "F#." That is why I call it the "1-4" turnaround because "F#" is the 4th tone in the C# major scale. Basically, you switch from the C# minor chord (the third tone is a "B" natural) to the F#13 chord (the third tone is simply lowered to "A#" and the bass to "F#). Here is a summary:

C#min9 --> F#13

(Bass: C# Right hand: E + G# + B + D#) -->
(Bass: F# Right hand: E + G# + A# + D#)

Try it out ... I think you'll agree that it's pretty "groovy!"

Thanks for your time again.
