Incorporating open strings in chord up the neck.
So I've been exploring trying to find more interesting voicings on my acoustic and I've started playing with open strings.
I've been playing chords like: x05550 x54030 077600 The first two work as substitutes for a D, and the second as a substitute for an A. And there are a couple of other ones I've run into: 044200 066400 As a substitute for an F#m and G#m, respectively. I'd love more examples of this sort of chord. Anybody got any favorites? |

The second is a common chord, but with an ambiguous identity - cross between D, Gmaj7, and Em9. You mean the third, surely? It's Aadd9/E. Quote:

The first chord in the third video is Eadd9, played as 0-9-6-9-0-0, and the second is Aadd9 (very like yours): 5-7-7-6-0-0.

If you ignore the open strings, the shapes;
Code:
x 2 2 1 x x E x 4 4 2 x x F#m x 6 6 4 x x G#m x 7 7 6 x x A Code:
x 9 9 8 x x B x 11 11 9 x x C#m x 12 13 11 x x D#dim Transferring this idea to other keys would require using different open strings and some experimentation. |

About 30 years ago I found the "Guitar Tricks" books by Jay Friedman. These were all about open chords up the neck. I lent them to a neighbor kid about 5 years back and I'll never see them again.

I like 0-11-11-11-0-0, E69. All great for fingerpicking (yours too of course) .
