Will you be playing in Atlanta anytime soon?

[Alpha7xxx]

THANK YOU! This was a huge help.

[B7aug5]

@Alpha7xxx Cool! Glad you were able to follow. Some of that moves fairly fast. The aug is a great chord, fits in well when you're lost at a jam...:-)

[dansterwerecool]

why to double fat e strings ?

[B7aug5]

@dansterwerecool

hey bro. 13-16-18-26-38- and 48 or 52, whatever I have laying around. Sometimes, 24 - 34 - 46. I have about 40 guitars and sometimes I run out of gauges. I only buy individual strings, no sets.

[Bluestouse86]

very good rythm player...i wish i could play chords as quick as that!

[B7aug5]

@Bluestouse86

Thanks man, but it ain't all that hard, I watched your video and you have a command of the fretboard, you are probably looking at notes rather than whole patters, which is where the chords live. I will post a slow version of this. The hard part is the inversion of the chords, they tend to "feel" backwards to the hand.

I made all that stuff up, there's no lesson or charts or anything, but once you get used to that weird "feel" of the chords, you will be able to play them faster. c

[B7aug5]

someone asked about what chords I'm playing. I move the chords around a lot. In general, in the beginning: C6, C7aug5, E7#9 (B), E9b5, Eb#9 (Bb), E9b5, D7#9 (A), D6#9 (A), C#7#9, G7aug5 as the turn around chord, and back to the C9 as the 1 chord. On the 1 you're looking at a C6 - C9 - C7 and a possible Cdim passing chord to the 4. There you see an F9, F9b5, C dim. #5 on turn around, turn chords are 7aug5's, chromatic from the 6 to the 5, old blues thing, but they used straight 7 chords.

[BlueRoseRocketBand2]

Just learned something. Thanks!

[TheEarthBlues2]

Awesome...sounds great. Thank you.

[B7aug5]

Thanks a heap, bro. Hope it gives some idea as to how to use various chords instead of the simplified versions.
