This takes me back to when I started playing guitar and couldn't do barre chords, an Amaj7 was my C#m

The song contains a Gmaj7 all over the place. Can you one guitarist simply play a G chord while the other plays a Bm chord at precisely the same time throughout the song? That's actually a great 'arranging' trick ... even in bands where all the guys or gals can play the more complicated chords. Think AC/DC. Mal and Angus never play the same voicings. I play in a band where we spread one chord out over two guitars and the bass. It's a simple progression, just A - E - F - Gmaj7. We want the Gmaj7 (actually it's a Gmaj13) to 'open up' at that point. The best way to do it was to spread it across the whole band. Bass plays a low G. I play a Bm7. Second guitarist (lead singer) plays a G6 like this X55430. *I also have him play an simple Fmaj9 on the F chord: XX3010 You can sort fake all three parts on one axe like this ... A - X02200 (A2) E - 022400 (E5) F - 133010 (F2) Gmaj13 - 3X4230 This post has been edited by klasaine: Oct 14 2013, 03:35 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
