dilly daly of Adelaide What is the process you use to work out chords (152* d) RE: What is the process you use to work out chords 05 May 10

Thanks to all of you for trying to help me with such a generous response.For the last few months i have taken the advice to learn about 20 chords which i can play along with folk music.I've also understood a fair bit of the music theory you have responded with.I'm currently trying to work out the chords to Sleepy John Estes song "Lawyer Clark' blues and "Someday baby"blues.A lot of blues muscicians seem to use different tunings rather than eadgbe so i'm not sure how this works.Any advise would be helpfull on these 2 specific songs so i can learn the specifics.I know not everyone knows these songs.I've looked everywhere on the net and have almost given up.They are great songs.Could try "Soul of man " by blind Willie Dixon if that is more popular.
       Anyway i love the folk and blues and am learning lots and am gratefull for your help.
