Hi Ted,

Sorry, some how I missed your note.

Modal sounding? Yup I can hear that. ( I'm listening to a song of his as I type) Leaving out the third note in the chord making a neither minor or major chord?

Thanks on the theory lesson. Is this/are these a movable chord(s) shape that generates a moving bass chop on top of the rhythm? That seems to be what I'm hearing. Every thing after a full chord seems to be kind of bassy. Like the top three strings only. Is that whats going on? I am also hearing a pretty hot rhythmic sense from him. Which if I lack anywhere it is my awareness of the beat.

Thanks Ted. I appreciate the help a lot. Don't hesitate to ask if you ever need to know how to make those pesky C7th chords. I have a fool proof technique involving your little finger.

Don
