E9th - fret 7 strings 6,7,8,10 is E6 with A & B pedals.[E,C#,B,G#]

Many thanks Bert.Much appreciated.It's not an easy song.But it's a great one to learn.It's in a minor key [Cm] and modulates to C major.Chord are complex, Lots of diminished and m7b5.But it's a great ...

Just received mine.It took a while to get here,probably halfway around the world, but well worth the wait.Great CD with good song selection.
Thanks Curt.

OOPS, sorry. You're already got the Bottle Let Me Down.

Thanks Bert.Great tune and wonderfully done.

Thanks Mike.Now I see where that flat 5 came from.Thinking tritones I can do the descending line on the same group of strings.
Cheers.

Hi Mike.Just studying your rhythm changes and applying them to pedal steel.The second last line has B7b9 to E7, A7b9 to D7 AND G7b9 to C7.All the b9 chords[B7b9,A7b9,G7b9] appear to have the flat 5 as ...

Hi John,
Can you tell me how to access the private study group for the PFM.All I get is the public one .

Good, I follow that.When you say Gm are you talking Gm7 or Gm6 ?ie throw in pedals 5 or 6 or doesn't it matter much ? Also instead of straight or pure Martino , instead of 2 bars Cm , could you play F ...

Thanks Christopher for your help and ideas.

Many thanks Jim.Great work.

Thanks Jim.Missed the first time but scraped in for this one.Really nice playing.Enjoyed your version of the Beach Boys 'Surfer Girl'.

Not keen on it as a tuning for my lap steel as I do see some difficulties imposed for my style of playing with regard to picking,strums,sweeps,sliding,slants.Having said that,on the pedal steel [am I ...

So Mike, are all these triads meant to be played over a F chord? Is that the idea?
