  • Please tell me why you say that if you want to play the D note as a fifth, it is an E shape, when you go on to playing a Gmaj7? Wouldn't you just say that it's a maj7 shape?

  • @nvantas I'm playing a GMaj7 chord tone, with a root note on the 6th string, 3rd fret. I'm using an "E-Form" fingering shape to do this. This "E-Form" chord shape carries its 5ths on the second string. In this case, it's the D note on the second string, 3rd fret.

    Think about it. No matter where I play this "E-form" on guitar, the note I finger on the second string will be the 5th of the root note I'm fingering on the 6th string.

  • Wonderful video. I like the simple approach of plcing melody notes on either Root, 3rd or 5th. Incredible. for my technique. Thank you.

  • @rabmusic2 I really appreciate your feedback.

  • Hi,

    What brand and model is the guitar? I'd like to get the tab arrangement for this tune. Thanks

  • @jdatnva It's a Hohner HJ5 guitar. I mostly use an Ibanez AG75, though.

  • can you please give me the tab, chords, and arrangements? this video is awesome, you are the master..

  • @jpcdoran I think I got it. You are talking about the E7 chord shape, right? I was thinking EM. I looked the notes up on advanced chordhouse.

    Thank you for the very quick reply. I am ordering your DVD now!

  • I have been playing around with the lesson you have shown with many different songs, mostly Steely Dan. you have opened so many doors for me that my playing, long platoed, is now undergoing a resurgence! Thank you so very much!
