RowdyMoon Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I think I'm going to need a new pinky finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I knew 8 of them, but only use 4. There are other shapes which are far easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 God help me, but,, Son of a b... I want that tele!!! Anyhows, I've use a few of them in some fingerstyle solo pieces I've managed to drum up. Over all, there some excellent voicing going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelT Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I played a few of those when I was at Musician's Institute but rarely use them. The stretches aren't too bad since I have pretty long fingers anyway. Diary of a Madman by Ozzy has some interesting fingerings and stretches but not as torturous as these. Can't wait to try them when I get home to see if I can still do them almost 30 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Check out Ted Greene. The acknowledged master and the online stuff is still free at the moment. Here; http://www.tedgreene.com/teaching/blues.asp http://www.tedgreene.com/teaching/chords.asp His books "Chord Chemistry" and "Modern Chord Progressions". BTW - B7 add 13? It's B13.

rct Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 BTW - B7 add 13? It's B13. IMO. If I'm cypherin from old memory correctly, the chord gets one extension, in this case the 7th. Anything else is "add". No opinions in music construction trade, just math and rules. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No opinions in music construction trade, just math and rules. rct OK I removed the IMO. B13 is B7 with 9, 11, 13. Though you most likely wouldn't include 11 anyway. "Add" is usually used for the triad with an added chord tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Add" is usually used for the triad with an added chord tone. B7 add 13 would be B7 plus the 6th above the first octave, no 2nd and 4th above the octave. That's what I remember, which could be wrong. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Now lets try the inverted versions of those chords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I knew about 4 of them before and played 6 of them cold on the Casino, but it would have been harder on the Tele. The other 4 are going to take some more work or a lot of painkillers for the arthritis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
