Iceboy--

I use acoustic guitarists least favorite (and most practical) closed position C chord--

7-6-4-4-4-X

With the pink on 7, ring on 6 and index barred across the three strings on the fourth fret--(you can take the pink and put it on the 7 fret of the high e to get your high notes)

This seemingly awkward position allows you to play two full octaves with only a slide down on the G string(no slide at all if you are playing a scale with a dominant 7 in it)--and you can play any notes in the chromatic scales without changing position--If you want speed and range, this is your scale, and it lets you alternate bass lines with lead licks without changing position--

It works really well with many BLJ tunes--I won't say how much he used it, because I don't want to get into any debate with people who have worked out his tunes using different fingerings, but you can do a nice job with a number of his booger rooger lines, as well as his leads and rhythms in this position--
