    I actually really enjoyed his Netflix special. It was a fresh take on the traditional stand up. Really quirky and funny. Jokes targeting a specific audience. That's a cool idea.

    • @giampaolofini1535
      @giampaolofini1535 Před 2 lety +1

      Agreed. I loved standup as a teen, early 20's but once you've seen enough of it, it becomes predictable. Standup for Drummers was one of the most outside-the-box things you'll ever see in the format and Armisen is funny in everything he's in. I was expecting it to get great reviews, but the special got modest critical reviews and low audience ones. I'm guessing bc so many people just stumbled across it on netflix, but don't have no that much about the quirks of the band scene or musician issues they couldn't relate.

      There is no such thing as suspended 9th chords. 9th chords already have the third present in them so do not require a resolution as is implied by a suspended chord. A "Suspended 9th" would actually be a sus2 chord. You can also have an add9 where the 9th is added to the chord (R 3 5 b7 9). He might have meant a #9 which is a dominant 9 chord with a#9.
