Hahaha … yes, she did!
I loved her since she did the Mask … and lost interest after she was with Justin Timberlake

As long as we’re off the rails…
And don’t go out with a loaded gun.
I am not a big Ben Stiller fan, but dayam, There’s Something About Mary was FUNNY!

Same here - though I liked “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, which would have been much better without him!
“There’s Something About Mary” is a Farelly Brothers film.
If you like that, you need to watch “Dumb and Dumber” (hardcore silly) and “Kingpin” (hardcore WTF!).
“Me, Myself & Irene” was too much a star vehicle for Jim Carrey (absolutely GREAT in “Ace Ventura”) … who played in “The Mask”.
We went full circle!

I’m actually a big fan on 10th. Double stops or chromatic. It’s not a spicy cinnamon note more like a warm cardamom note very comforting to and in several context ballad, funk, r&b as well as upbeat.

The phrase is actually “Hear, hear.” It originated in the 17th century UK Parliament as an abbreviation of the phrase “Hear him, hear him.”
But I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment.

I learned and forgot how to play guitar at least 3 times over my lifetime so far. Each time, none of my teachers ever brought up any theory at all. It was literally memorize chords. I think the first time I saw TAB was the 3rd go around when I was about 30 years old. Fast forward to now: I’m fast approaching 60, and decided it was time to finally learn music properly and switched to bass (best decision I ever made btw). B2B was amazing and it got me up and playing surprisingly quickly and did a great job of ensuring I didn’t bake mistakes in early. B2B also made me hungry with the theory that was presented to understand more. I’ve been taking Talking Bass courses (Sight Reading, Chord Tones, Groove Trainer, Theory) now since August and it’s definitely meeting my personal goals, which by Josh’s video is for sure level 5. Part of my motivation was I love music and always wanted to play and this is for sure scratching that itch. Another part of my motivation is watching my dad wither away as he gets older, and the biggest thing I notice is his desire to learn new things went away a few years ago and the decline became noticeable after that. I want to challenge myself with both new motor skills and new brain skills as I age and hopefully stay as young as I fee. So, while I may never REACH level 5, that’ll be my goal. Important note: I get as much pleasure from the ‘ah ha’ moment when I finally understand how a chord is constructed as I do when I finally nail a riff. Interesting side note: my wife is learning piano a long with me learning bass and she has NO desire to learn any theory, she just want’s to play the songs she likes and she’s gets frustrated when her lessons go into theory…so to each his or her own. I just let her do her thing and am happy she’s having fun.

Best way to play a 9th chord - and these are some my all time favorites - is to start with the power chord.
Root-fifth.
Then, add a fifth onto the fifth. Like two power chords chained together.
What you end up with is a massive stretch for your hand, but the chord tones that you get are root-fifth-ninth
It’s a gorgeous, floating, spacey type of sound.
You can make 9th chords either major or minor as well, and there are lots of other ways to get that note into chords, but the fingering (voicing) that I explain here is one of the ones I always come back to because it’s so versatile and open sounding.

You can hear the dominant 9 in Blues tracks
when you see the chord written eg: B9 it tells you the seventh note is flattened
generally this is root - third - flat 7 - ninth

you could possibly the the dominant 9 chord as the return back to 'Home"
James Brown “I Feel Good” D9 takes us back to the top “home”
