Thread Name: Three chord tricks
Subject: RE: Three chord tricks
I have no music theory and don't understand tabs and stuff but...

If you take yer major 1st position chords you will find sweet spots all around them... I think this is called garnishing...

Okay, make a 1st postion D chord, for insatnce and now slide yer pinky up to the 5th fret... That is a simple "garnishment"... I haven't bothered to count 'um but there are at least 3 garnishments for every major chord...

Okay, "garnishment" may not be a musical term but I been playin' for, goosh, I ain't tellin' and I've learned whewre all thosxe spots are and you can, too...

Migbht of fact, I don't play nuthin' but droped D and open tunings these days but I can still play the heck outta standard tunin' if I have to...
