E9th Instruction

by Jim Loessberg

JL37 - '15 Ways to get from a I Chord to a IV Chord'

Level: Beginner-to-Intermediate

15 of my favourite licks to get from a I to a IV Chord, in various tempos and keys. These licks can also be used to get from a V Chord to a I Chord. I designed this tape with the beginning-to-intermediate level player in mind. However, I use all these licks regularly, so intermediate-to advanced players might like it too!

Tab & CD $19.00

JL38 - 'Right Hand Technique Building for E9th '

Level: Beginner-to-Advanced

These are the same exercises I use to improve my right hand technique and keep my hand in shape. Most of these exercises can be used as licks in songs. Exercises include two-finger exercises, palm blocking and pick blocking exercises, and some three-finger exercises. There is something for every level of player on this tape.

Tab & Cassette or CD $18.00

JL39 - 'Beginning Chord Construction for E9th'

Level: Beginning-to-Intermediate

This tape begins with the basics of chord construction. Starting with the major scale formula, it teaches the student how to construct major, minor, suspended, augmented, diminished and 7th chords (major, minor and dominant). This tape is designed for the player who has no knowledge of chords but who would like to learn an easy way to construct any chord. Some basic knowledge of the E9th neck, positions and string grips will be helpful to you in using this tape.

Tab & Cassette or CD $19.00

JL40 - 'Intermediate Chord Construction for E9th'

Level: Intermediate

This tape begins where the Beginning Chord construction for E9th tape left off. It covers the construction of 9th chords, including major, minor and dominant chords. The tape also includes a section on altered 9th chords, including 7^#9 and 7^b9 chords. It is recommended that the player have a good grasp of the material in the Beginning Chord Construction E9th tape before moving to this tape.
