  I saw Robben Ford on tour with George Harrison in Chicago in November 1974. It was my very first concert. I was 10 years old.

  Robben is not only a Master of his craft, but a master teacher. I so appreciate that he doesn&apos;t just teach the chords, but he knows what chords/intervals he&apos;s playing, rather than simply telling us on what fret and on which string to place our fingers. He also explains the theory as to <b>why</b> these chords work in the progressions he teaches. That&apos;s huge, and that&apos;s what I always wanted to learn-- especially because I played by ear for 30 years and never understood a lot of the rockabilly/ jazz chords I was playing. Ted Greene&apos;s CHORD CHEMISTRY helped me tremendously (especially chord synonyms) in quickly seeing the intervals, but Robben&apos;s Chord Revolution and Blues Chord Revolution are &nbsp;really helping drive home my complete understanding of what&apos;s being played.<br><br>I cannot tell you how much I appreciate TrueFire and Robben Ford for all of his courses. At the time, this is one of three of my favorite courses of Robben&apos;s. I had to stop playing for 13 years due to spine injury. I kept visualizing myself playing every night, and when I picked up my guitar again to start getting my fretting hand stronger, the muscle memory was there from rockabilly blues I had played earlier in my life, the first 30 years of playing, but because of the nerve damage, it&apos;s much easier grabbing partial barres and 3 or 4 note chord voicings, and Robben is absolutely the master of teaching this subject, as it relates to how I learn and see the fretboard (and, from seeing reviews of his lessons, this is true for many other players as well).<br><br>I can&apos;t recommend this course enough. <br><br>(I would like to <b>with great humility</b> note that the chord Robben is referring to is not an &quot;add 9&quot; because there&apos;s a flat 7th. It&apos;s simply an iteration of a 13th.<br><br>I offer that info on the 13th chord with *absolute humility &nbsp;and appreciation to Robben.*)

  Absolutely brilliant delivery. So natural, as if he&apos;s sat with you in your kitchen having a cup of tea and showing you a few tips.

  He learned his chord undertanding and soloing from the Mickey Baker&apos;s jazz guitar book, published in 1954.

  What do you get when you add the concepts of cool and gentleman? You get Robben Ford sharing his knowledge of music theory and guitar playing with the world. Thanks very much Robben, your the best!

  I&apos;m noting a very important aspect of his lesson is that he &quot;sings&quot; those scale notes. For all you noobs or others (like &nbsp;me) that have ignored that trait, it seems to recur in really good guitarists, especially those that can sing as well. I think it helps to mentally recognize the note and harmonies.
