"F" chords! (lol!) BB King didn't play em........... just sang lead and played lead. Nuff said! :-)

[clintmiller23]

@margovallen BB King paid his dues to be able to sit in a chair on stage, sing whatever the heck he wants, and solo however the heck he wants. He earned that - I'm sure he's played his fair share of chords.

[gunsnrosescovers]

Awesome

[rockandroll2334]

[hugetelegraph]

Cool guy

[jblackmd1]

thanks so much for this

[DeathMetalMikey]

Dear everybody, from someone that can play fast. Chords are ten thousand time harder than single note leads. Learn your chords now. Learn your sweeps later.

[teletubbie503]

[bhebrews1214]

great stuff bro!

[OliviaMarielle]

doood, you are an inspirationnnnn ;D!!

[musicprodave]

that looks like a major 7th chord to me....no?

[raulsuazo]

i though the same

[dezrax]

@musicprodave no, because we're considering the root note (G) to be on the 6th string, but it isn't being played. in order for it to be a maj7th chord, the root note would have to be on the 5th string 2nd fret (B) if we were using that shape. although that B is in there, it's not a Major 7th chord because that B is not the root note.

[Crawford17Pete]

A dominant G9 chord without the root is a Bmin7b5 or half diminshed chord. I hate that name though.

[Uterus45]

YEah! Nice job with the video

[ursafan40]

Mike rocks! Thanks for posting sir. Gives this beginner better ideas and easier to understand lessons than anyone else I've had try and teach me.

[bostonDMC]

@Deverow3 It's video. Fast forward, then rewind ;-)

[RUBENPEREZmusic]

thanksssssss a lot

[abbeymaeliam1]

One question, how come he's using a diminished chord for the root?

[giddeo]

Bare in mind he said that he would be playing along with another track so that would be covering the G.

Yes it could be seen as a diminished chord but in this context he's using it as a G7 chord:

G A BC D E F

G (root) - B (major 3rd) - F (flat7)

Notice when he slides the chord he removes his index finger (what would be the B in this chord shape, the bass note) the three fingered shape he's left with is a major 7 triad.

[wa0000]

That grip would be a diminished chord if it were being played on the top four strings, but on these four strings it's a rootless 9 chord: low to high: b (3) f (b7) a (9) and d (5).

Also, this is the I (one) chord, not the 'root' chord. The term root refers to the low 1 note of the chord (g in this case, which happens to be omitted).

[GetReide]

its not a diminished chord... its a G9 chord with the minor seventh

[recordedversion]

Blues guitar at its very best!!!
