GMC Forum _ Jonathan Burgos _ Jamaica Rock Lesson - Chord Voicings

Posted by: JamesT Jan 28 2011, 10:09 PM

Hey Jonathan:
I'm working on your Jamaica Rock lesson and hope to record the rythm along with the solo for an upcoming REC submittal.
Most of the chords I'm very familiar with and I think I can hear which voicing you're using for them. But the one chord that's got me confused is the Am/F#. Based on it's signiature, I believe that I should be playing the F# at the bottom of the chord, like this...

Am/F#
---0----
---1----
---2----
---2---
---0---
---2---

But the following seems closer to how your track sounds to me...

Am/F#
---8---
---7---
---9---
---7---
---x---
---x---

Are either of these how you played it in the lesson backing?

James, the real chord is:

---x---
--10---
---9---
--10---
---9---
---x---

Very cool. Thanks. I was looking for that lost chord.
