Thanks! Yeah vox were rough.

Per usual I agree with Jerome. Timekeeping is really important. You can have the best strumming pattern around but if your meter is off you'll sound God awful. Play quarter note downstrokes until you have good time feel and the chord changes are confident.

Jerome you can make locrian work in funk too.

Learn and love major, minor, mixolydian and dorian and you'll be good to go. The mode Jerome is talking about is phriggin' ridiculous.

See what I did there?

if you play really, really light the scallops supposedly help reduce finger drag and help ya play faster. Unsure how it would impact tonal quality.

Just play any song  that uses G, D, C but play them as barre chords instead.

Regards to your Bm question, keep your strumming going in the right hand and do a left hand mute while you're switching chords or just hit the open strings. It will add texture but as long as you fret the chord solidly it will sound fine. Check this out here at about the 55 second mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lyw1mte … ature=plcp

As I move from G/B to C I pull all my fingers off the strings and just hit a bunch of open strings. It doesn't really ring as a chord, just sounds like percussive noise. 

This guy is a master of this technique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEVE8l8fYUk  You can see him do it at 2.39, 2.44, and 3.04 repeatedly through the end of the solo. Works just as well on acoustic if you do it right.

If you don't like the way that sounds, lay the barre down first and then hammer on the rest of the chord Or if you're having problem with your pinkie finger, just leave that up and play the chord as a Bm7.

Or if it's easier play it up at the 7th fret as an Em barre chord.

ORRRRR depending upon the song you can probably substitute a G/B for the Bm chord.

BS

That's tough, sorry man. What industry are you in?

I've tried one spots, individual adapters, everything. Seem to get signal loss and noise vs. a good old fashioned battery.

I was also heavy in to martial arts. I'm now heavy in to canine protection sporting.
