Thread Name: What's this chord?
Subject: RE: What's this chord?
Lemma back up to 2:55 yesterday:

This is a chord used by many blues players. 00225 works in conjunction with 00224. It's an open-voice A major to an A7.

Wouldn't that be 002225 and 002223? Or, 000225/000223?

Because of what McGofH poined out as the "five-string guitar" problem, I'm not sure whether or not Frank is telling us that the D string is left open ~ I think it might be, because he mentions that it sounds "sounds a little dissonant but bluesy."

I am more confident that the one changing note, as played on the high E string, moves from the fifth to the third fret, not from the fifth to the fourth. But I'm not sure until I try both alternatives on my guitar, which I don't bring to work with me. (When I go home, I have the intrument at hand but I am not chained to the computer and don't always feel like even turning it on. Didn't log onto Mudcat at all this past weekend...)
