    Video Transcript

    "Ok. This example is going to be a slight variation of a previous segment I did. I'm going to be beginning with E nine. Except, this time I'm going to be adding on the ninth chord. Which, they call it eleventh. So, tenth-eleventh. And, what I'm going to be doing here is going starting with my pinky barring. And, it's a little bit of a stretch. But, with practice you'll be able to get it. Unless you can do it already, of course. On the ninth fret, beginning on the E and the B and keeping the same shape here for the E nine going. So, just adding those for half the stroke. That and going. And, then going from either D sharp E flat. However, you want to call it. So, a slight variation from the last strum I did. But, showing where you take the same chord add a couple notes you get a whole different feel. So, with the drums it will sound like this. And, so what you had there is you added a couple of notes giving it another dimension to nice little funk rhythm over a simple drum beat."
