I just play Em7 to A7 but I use a few different voicings. I'm on a business trip but as soon as I get back I'll tab a few out for ya.

Those are tuned in unison I believe.  Lower strings on  12 strings are tuned to same note, different octave.

That's well said. I'm more and more finding myself expecting music to make me happy.

Four options options:
1. Deal with it.
2. Play a tad lighter.
3. Heavier strings.
4. Lighter picks.

I do a lot of heavy right hand stuff and I never break strings, so you must really be knocking 'em. The reason I dont hit them harder is when you hit a string too hard the note starts sharp. So you have to be careful to not overdo it.

Joe B is one of the worst speakers when it comes to teaching guitar. But boy can he play!

Re Every Rose, I play it as you wrote it above. That's a C add 9. The third fret on the b string is a D, which is the 9 you're adding. Regarding the Dm7/G, your voicing is correct! How it sounds depends upon how you use the chord. In fact, a lot of chords change texture depending upon how they're used.

Example: My band plays a lot of blues-based rock and funky stuff. Our bass player is really active so I don't have to play full chords. I mostly play thirds, sevenths, ninths, and other chord extensions and let him handle the bass note. He can move from bass note to bass note and change the chord without me changing any notes at all, or more frequently with me just changing one note.

To hear an easy example of how this sounds, play this:

x
5
5
5
x
x

That probably sounds like C major to you. So put the C in the root to define the chord as C Major:

x
5
5
5
3
x

Now play this:

x
5
5
5
x
5

That's an A minor 7...which from theory you know is the relative minor of C. The point being you don't have to change notes to change chords. Cool, but motion to a relative minor being a bit too easy, let's do a tougher one.

I play this in Use Me by Bill Withers (chord tone names added for reference):

Em7
x
12 (5)
12 (b3)
12 (b7)
x
x

A7 (with a 9 added for fun):

x
12 (9)
12 (b7)
11 (3)
x
x

So just by changing one note I go from Em to A7, which is a i-IV progression.

You can also play it as a Dm7/G.

I was contemplating selling my ES-335...never quite felt right. Before taking such drastic action I broke it out in rehearsal the other day. It's just never been comfy. I noodled with it - and inspired by this post, popped the pick guard off. Wha la!

Comfy comfy comfy!

Try searching Google. Just typed in "Angel intro chords jimi hendrix" and this was the first result.

Rhythm refers to a guitar part. A chorus is a part of a song form...part of the structure of the song itself.
