Description
The use of the sixth interval is used all over John Mayer's playing. Â Whether it be in a guitar solo or a rhythm guitar part, you can find the use of sixth's throughout many of his recorded works. Â This example focuses in on applying the use of sixths in between a set of chord changes in E Major, played in 6/8 time. Â The use of these intervals in a rhythm guitar part adds a richer sense to the harmony and allows for a strong melody to be established between the chords.
