On a piano, the Ab is the right hand and the Eb is the left hand.
  On the guitar there are several ways to play the booger of a chord. Here are a few;
                 1) tune guitar a half-step down and play (002220)
                 2)XX114X
                 3)as Stonebridge stated(466744)

The Eb is a note within the structure of Ab so simply playing the Ab is the easiest and most practical route. If a bass player is playing with you, they'd play the Eb, you'd play the Ab, and harmonious bliss would then occur..........

Awesome Guitarpix!!!! An A+ for the first 3 tunes, the fourth one is too fast for my slow, chilled vocal style( I'm not good with sap[singing & rap]). Thanks so much my friend of tunage!, I really dig the Mason Jennings and Vinyl Fever is right across the bridge from my crib. Mucho appreciation..

I think this calls for the Crash Helmut Jug Band boys to hide behind the bushes with a couple cartons of eggs ready to plaster ole Taka-Boom-Boom boys' car the next time he comes-a-bumpin'!!!

Thanks Guitarpix, I was thinkin' the PSP was a relative of the Paul Reed Smith or somethin' of the sort. My gaming days ended in the arcades(a LONG time ago???!!!I'm so old.....) with Donkey Kong, Air Hockey, Space Invaders,  and Ms. Pac Man............

Not sure what we're gonna do yet for crimbo(I like that term) we call it crizzy in our house. Our son just turned 3 yesterday and got his very own, red, squire, mini-strat with a Jimi Hendrix strap! He loves it and it fits him perfectly. A few months ago we were watching music videos on VH1Classic( no cartoons in our house!?!?) and a  recent live Who video came on w/ Pete playing a red strat. My son went nuts and asked over and over again if  I'd take some of my tip jar money and buy it for him.(haha) How could I refuse?............

If you look into 4 string, or D shaped barre chords, the B string is used as a perfect 5th interval.
Example; E chord XX2454
                 F chord XX3565
                 G chordXX5787
                  A chordXX7 9 10 9
                     etc.............
     In  this case the b string will work but try to play A Bm C#m D progression without changing the shape of  the A form barre chord and you'll see(or hopefully hear, I know how some  bass players are?!?!) what I'm trying to convey. If you were sitting in front of me ,face to face, you'd see in 2 seconds what I'm talkin' about........

The E barre would be up one fret to the 7th(not 6th, 6th fret is D#/Eb) fret in a D form barre.

And to answer your question regarding minor chords in barre chord shapes as long as the differentiating string is not played( example; Bm X24432 and B X24442/ the differentiating string is the G string , 3rd fret on the Bm 4th fret on the B major) the first 2(A shape), or 3(E shape)(from your chin to your knee) strings of the "power chord" will work with a major and/or a minor chord progression.

A shape barre chord; X02XXX or X022XX, x24XXX or X244XX, etc...
E shape barre chord; 02XXXX  or 022XXX, 24XXXX or 244XXX, etc...

Happy birthday badeye, hope you made it through the day following the festivities. Crash Helmut Jug Band rulz!!!!!!!!!!

..and the tabs are incorrect and the lyrics are incomplete! What a deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Registering sometimes has it's privleges. Chordie rules, I don't care what anybody sayz.........

Great tune badeye. I'm with you on the 'Green' way of thought, have been since I took my first trip to the city dump and witnessed first hand, all of the massive waste. No one person can do it all but a little preventative actions by many makes a huge difference...........

Hi Steve,
You're a fine musician, all around. With this said you'll need to push aside your feelings of inadequacy regarding your vocals and just let it loose. Sing loud, sing proud, and your message will not only be heard at a greater level but it will be felt stronger and deeper to those you are trying to reach. Keep on doin' what you're doin' and you'll be just fine.

Peace and Guitars,
