With blues piano, I love when guys like Jimmy Blythe end on the 9th chord… it’s such a great “up-in-the-air” ending.

Sometimes he even goes one better and suddenly modulates at the ending with no warning at all, ending in a totally different key!

Jimmy Yancey would do that too; no matter what key he was playing the tune in, he would always end in Eb!

Nobody is quite sure why, other than it was his trademark.

is that fast fret i see on top of your amp? if it is dont use it, im a guitar tech, ill tell you from experience that it ruins fretboards. use boiled linseed oil to clean your fretboard. it really cleans it and brings out the shine and grain of the wood. but only on dark fretboards, not the maple ones.

I recently discovered the function of these sweet 9th chords from watching Clapton on the John Mayall 70th birthday concert DVD. Thanks for explaining their use further!
