I always found them a bit clumsy so I use barres, but they're not for everyone either. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

CODE Am - x 0 2 2 1 0 Am - 5 7 7 5 5 5 Am - x x 7 9 10 8 While they are all A minor, and are all made from A, C, and E, I think they all have their subtle tonal differences. What do you guys think?

The whole chord melody/solo guitar style of playing is all about this You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Or it just happened to be the style? Its very difficult for me This type of fingering is great when you want to make a funky style rhythm. It's very used in groovy styles like funk, reggae and pop. The alternation between this chords and muted strums are a must in some of those styles. You will also find them in music by Steve Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix.
