E9 is surprisingly hard to play. Googling this topic has tons of hits. Either the A string buzzes or the high E string buzzes. But it seems if you bend the A string slightly up it falls into place;) Just a tip.
The mini barre is still very difficult for me…
the upper knuckle in my 3rd finger doesnt bend back far enough to get a clean A string. will it eventually stretch if i keep at it?
This chord breaks the bones of my fingers to dust.
This is not a chord that will have under the tools belt in a day, but in time, mybe in weeks.
Thank you Justin for the great course.

why does everyone put the E9 chord into the beginners’ funk course? There are easier chords. Instead of focusing on rhythm people will struggle with E9
Intermediate Grade 6 is hardly ‘beginner’ territory.
And also first covered in Essential Blues Rhythm which is also Grade 6 and comes before the Funk module, which is not labelled as a beginners “course”.
