onewilyfool Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I just hate that chord Eb....lol....any help appreciated....
SRV-Zeppelin Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Tune to Eb and play open E. As for substitutions... depends on the chord progression. Ab/Bb can sometimes fit in nicely depending...
ksdaddy Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA.... Cameleye gets the slap! I just use 668886
ballcorner Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 +1 on the slap for CamelEye Please provide the relevant progression and I will find you a sub.
Jerry K Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 C minor 7th or C minor. Or you could use Ebmaj7 xx1333.
John Lee Walker Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Hey Wiley - Just pause and cough at the chordial moment you prefer. They never notice:)
anthonyc007 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 What is wrong with Eb? I kinda dig i. It has cropped up in a couple of songs I recently learned. Which fingering do you not like?
Rambler Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Cameleye, lol. Capo up one and play a D. They dont call the choker a cheater for nothing.
jefleppard Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 D# takes it! but seriously i've been waiting for this question. really i have because i love fragments and moveable chords. try this.... 66504x - its like a full C-chord shape but starting at the 6th fret, no capo. it sounds nice, too. you get the ring of the fretted g and the open g.
grampa Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 My first remark was sorta snarky but I later realized that I use eflat a lot. Cunkhead's version is one. I also have an e flat seventh played like a c seventh in the same postion . A lot of the time I'm fingerpicking and don't realize right off what the chord is. The notes fit and I'll later check out what the chord is.
onewilyfool Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 Hey guys....thanks for the suggestions....(and the jokes)......Eb is just a mental block for me....like when I first started playing guitar....I would AVOID songs with the F chord....lol....I like Cunk's Eb........THAT I can do....

F makes me angry - my hand would much rather play EAB than FBbC. try the open position C all the way up and find other cool chords and phrasings as well. warning - happy accidents may occur!
brians356 Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I presume you are playing in open position, otherwise Eb is no more problematic than D or E. If you mean straight Eb Major, there's no real substitute besides the relative minor Cmin depending on the context, but you can embellish it to Eb6 or Eb7 (dominant) and play them inverted in open position. Try these (typo corrected on Tue 2nd): Eb: x110xx Eb6: x1101x or x1131x, or 3x131x Eb6+9: x11011 Eb7: x1102x, Ebmaj7: x1103x Brian
