Another great lesson - thank you. I also like sliding the C shape up so instead of being played on the first three frets, it’s 4,5 and 6. I’m sure there’s a slicker way to say this but anyway the result is nice!
I guess that last question is a Cbb7. I was looking here to see if there was an explanation for C7 (dominant 7) not needing a G. I know it sounds fine without the fifth but I haven’t experimented to see if this is a rule that can be broken for other 7 chords or even major7 chords. I am working through the theory course but haven’t read an explanation yet. Is the answer a bit complex until you understand more advanced harmony?
1 of the rare times I’ve been able to play the intro at beginner level within 10mins
thank you!
Thanks for the C Shape variations Jeff. very useful.
