Re: Ive got the blues

I don't really understand a whole lot in terms of theory when it comes to 9ths, 11th, augmenteds, and the like either. But I did learn how to play the chords (barred, mostly), paid attention to what fingering change made them what they are, and then looked for that change in my soloing patterns. Adds a lot of spice without having to understand the mathematics.
