Great advice from everyone, of course. I thought my 2 cents might be worth
a Peso, or two, so here it is:
SHORT CHORDS....period
"Short chords" are chords built from 3 or 4 of the necessary notes from
each chord. For example, a C7 chord is built as follows: C, Bb, E
They are easy to finger, remain mostly on the lower strings (thus staying
out of the way), and allow for quick changes. Mark Stefani has a blurb on
his page somewhere, I think (). I think Mark
mentioned recently that Jimmy Bruno is a short chord player too, so it's
not being a cop-out, instead it's useful stuff for the future!
