Re: help

C6 is exactly the same as Am7 (x02010) and F6 is the same as Dm7 (xx0211)

I don't know the song you are playing so no idea if that helps or not.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Re: help

I haven't heard this song for a very long time but I checked the chords on the web, and I think this tune is played using the C chord from a barred A at the third fret then forming the C6 by playing an extra note on the 1st string

So C is 335553 and C6 is 335555

simarlarly

F is 8-8-10-10-10-8

F6 is 8-8-10-10-10-10

played with a sort of gentle rocking feel

Re: help

you can play C6 by holding C, and rolling your middle finger up to cover two strings.
Its also a substitute for Am, (actually I think it IS an Am technically)

C and Am share a common key signature, and therefore all of the same notes.  Any note you can play in C, you can play in Am as well.

Re: help

its called c6 and the reason you can sub am is its built on the 6th interval of the c scale hense and that is a also its minor the 6th,2nd and so on this works in any key if you first cover the sharps and flats well thats enough theory for me keep pickin acapo

Re: help

jerome,
  thats a very helpful tip, I knew you could always put an Am in when your playing something in C, but the thing about the notes that makes things simpler too.
