Thread Name: Our Friend the movable B7 chord.
Subject: RE: Our Friend the movable B7 chord.
Well if yer gonna do "The world's hardest masochistic showoff" chord (see Marion's blue clicky) you better grab it while you're young. I just tried it on my reasonably new Martin D-41, and it sounds like total sh*t.

The chord is a joke of course, but I actually USED to be able to play it instantly.

On the other hand, I ALSO used to be able to:

Throw a fastball past the finest Little league batters.

walk ten miles a day (and visit music and pawn shops at the same time)

Remember EVERY cast member of The Great Escape and the Magnificent Seven.

Today I'm happy to be able to finger this G Maj7.

From 6th string.

3X5432

It's a great voicing though.

Cheers

Rick
