so the rock song Tom chose is...... Day Tripper. Not what I had expected -- he likes Clapton, Cream, Zeppelin, etc. So anyway, we'll work on both guitar parts for DT; I already know the classic riff. I will work on the rhythm part, and also the lead solo. Tom said the song is a good example of minor pent in E.
He also showed me how to play 9ths, llths, and 13ths with a barre shape. And we talked about how those augmented chords are formed.
He also explained how dominant 7th chords in blues are different from major 7ths. There is a difference in the flatted 7th, I think.

Yep. That's right. In the major scale the seventh note is just one half-step down from the octave. Going another half-step down gets you the so-called "dominant seventh."or flatted seventh. All those other chords you mentioned, the 9's 11's and 13's have the dominant 7th as part of their definition. I don't like playing them barred though. It's a lot of work. It's not as hard as you might think to learn how to mute the strings left open when playing them unbarred by using the flesh of the fingers. It's also a lot of fun. We'll make a jazzer out of you yet.
Boy! you're learning fast! Well done! Sure wish we could do some jamming.
