Q: Hey Chris, thanks for all the great
content on both your blog and your site. I’m also going to get both your books
as well. I have a question: I’ve been listening to and trying to play some of
Brian Setzer’s big band stuff lately. What is the deal with the 6 chords? You
don’t hear them so much in other genres but Brian seems to love them. Is there
anything I should know about these chords?
A: Brian is really a great musician. I have
the greatest appreciation of him because he has really come a long way. I mean,
he was great back with The Stray Cats but he has really stretched a lot with
his big band thing and you can tell he has really been studying over the years
- Pretty rare with successful musicians. Anyway, getting to your question
regarding 6 chords.
