Chord of the Week 48
Here is a cool voicing for A13. You can play a big fat open A on the bottom also. Or maybe a big fat open E and call it E-9.
Chord of the Week 47
Since a humanoid can never have too many ways to play an altered Db13 voicing, here is yet another. By all rights, you should have been able to play this […]
Chord of the Week 46
“What took ya’ so long.”As if by magic six months or so hadn’t elapsed between the last COTW, we continue with more ways to play Db13+4. This one doesn’t have a […]
Chord of the Week 45
Again, by special request, a chord that shows up fairly often, but can present a mystery. Notice that in the voicing for Db13+4 or (+11) there is no Db. Leave […]
Chord of the Week 44
By special request, this month I’ll be answering the age-old question: “Where can I find a Job?” Not really. I will, conversely, answer a question about how to play voicings […]

Chord of the Week 35
Here’s a voicing for Maj 7 with the root on top, and all kinds of murky, yet flavorful, stuff (yummy!) lurking beneath the staid exterior. Featuring a half step and a flat […]
Chord of the Week 34
