You need to look at the chord in the context of the other chords around it or you really can't determine what chord it is..this is particularly true of more complex jazzy chords.

Another example, more simple for emphasis:
What chord is CEG? Most of you right now are saying "C major," right? That's one possibility, but:
- It can also be an am7 with no root (root omission [and 5th omission, while we're on the topic] is very common when you're chunking out jazz chords w/a big band.)
- If the chord behind it is an e minor chord, you could consider CEG an e minor chord with the 6 being used for color/voice leading, although this would be an unusual usage.

OPs chord might be a lydian chord with the maj. 7 omitted. More info on that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydian_chord

What key is the song in?

Listen to what the others are playing, and keep your head up. Nothing frustrates me more than when I audition players and it is clear that they are more interested/engaged in what they sound like than what the rest of the group is doing.

word.

Chord 1 can either be an e7#9 or an em7. The d string typically contains the 3rd and is muted, so it's tough to tell if it's a major or minor chord.

Chord 2 looks kinda like an e dominant sort of thing with the 13 up top.

Chord 3 appears to be an e dominant chord with the b7 repeated up an octave. Again, it's hard to tell due to the lack of a 3rd in there.

Hey ya Smoke.

It's not really an inversion, just a different position. All the notes are in the same order no matter which way you play it.

Nela I'd not heard of that...thanks!

no, I'm talking about this

where the 4th fret is being played by your index finger bridge and the 7th fret low e string by your pinky. I made a video showing it a couple months ago, can dig it up if you want. it's really not that hard.

you just have to rotate your hand and get your knuckles parallel to the fretboard and make a little stretch. Similar to playing a walking SRV type bass line with your pinky while holding an open "e" (think "Pride and Joy").

try barring the 4th fret notes with your index finger and playing the root on the low e string w/your pinky. i play barres like that all the time, much easier than the "a" shape...

were you puking?

I got my first guitar when I was 6. I'm 33 now. I've played it almost every day since then. Needless to say I'm quite attached.

It's a cheap import from the Guild line called a Madeira - in searching, it seems that it was only made for a few years in the late 60s and early 70s. If anything happened to it I'd be crushed.

Until yesterday, when I got a twin sister to my baby, thanks to eBay. I couldn't be happier!

I'm going to do a side by side test and see how the new one stacks up. Will post the link here as soon as I do that.

2011-03-04 15:57:25

welcome!

2011-02-28 22:34:15

Thanks all! MKM, we haven't actually done a shoot yet - those were just pics that my wife took with a cheapo Canon so I had to take what I could get. Eventually we'll get to doing proper photos. I'm not a big fan of the fish-eyed header image, either.

Thanks again y'all!

Lol. I, unlike you, love tattooed women....particularly when they're on my boat. Maybe just a generational thing.

2011-02-25 18:45:01

2011-02-25 18:43:57

You can also play mediums and tune down to Eb to keep your fingers from getttin too beat up.
