Yeah that would work fine. Or just
X212xx
That gets root, 3, and b7. Perfect voicing if you aren't sitting on it too long.

Re: Inverted Chords (31 replies, posted in Music theory)
Addendum - I will say that not enough players think of the bassist as helping to form the chord. We don't always need to play root, 3rd, 5th, 7th. I play a lot of 3rd and 7ths or 3rd, 7th, 9ths (color tones), let the bassist handle the root and ignore the 5 (unless it's a dim chord).

Classical players do a lot more voice leading than we do. Inversions are pretty irrelevant for rock chording.

I am STILL struggling with the open B7. Reference this tread from over two years ago.

What I'm finding is that any chord which involves my pinky is still a bit problematic. Open B7, G as 320033 , open G with fingers 2-4, etc. etc.Working on it, but my pinky is stubborn.
Play it as x21222 and barre the top three strings with your ring finger. That makes it a 9 chord which is going to sound find in 99.99% of pop music.

Re: Tell Us About Your Gigs - a resurrected SouthPaw41L thread (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
I had two tough gigs. One was when I played at Buddy Guy's bar, opening for a friend of mine. We were young and inexperienced and had no business being there. The stage sat atop a power transformer for the subway so you could hear nothing but line hum in the monitors. We are nervous. About to go on. My buddy walks up as we finish tuning and says "dont get nervous but Buddy is here."
Worst show I ever played.
Second worst was when I was coughing up a lung from mild pneumonia in between songs. That was gross. Voice was shot within an hour.
