This emphasises the importance of understanding the intervals within the chords and experimenting with them to create music. This style of rhythm guitar does very much come from a smooth R&B/soul background, notice how he uses palm mutes and slides to add dynamics to the part, not to mention an incredible sense of sitting in the rhythmic 'pocket!'

V-i licks This tune mostly lives in the guitar player's paradise that is A minor. Cti client. What's so fun to listen to in this tune is the way Paul plays around with the altered dominant V chord (E7#9) in his licks to create some tension that releases so smoothly to A minor. To get the most out of these licks, highlight a measure in SoundSlice and practice playing along as the phrase loops. Here are my picks: Lick 1 @ 2:08. Lick 2 again shows us the diminished arpeggio built off of a scale tone from an altered dominant chord (this time, the 3rd) and as well a cool use of the diminished scale that builds some nice tension before it resolves to a clean A minor. In theory, you can build a diminished scale (whole half) off of the flat 9, 3rd, 5th or 7th (sound familiar?) of any altered dominant chord.
