It sounds like you're ready to become the new James Taylor, the popular singer-songwriter slash puzzle piece.

The whole fretboard is my bitch.

Inhuman 10.23.2006 08:06 PM

I always use G, and it sounds super happy, especially when you play the G shape with your fingers on the 10th and 11th frets

k-krack 10.23.2006 08:11 PM

I like really dissonant chords... and minor chords.

CHOUT 10.23.2006 10:26 PM

Open-tuned G chord (DGDGBD--low to high). Stones use it on just about everything. All kinds of things are incredibly easy to play in open G tuning, and often kind of pretty.

king_buzzo 10.24.2006 10:43 AM

A, E, G,D those are fun, you can add stuff to them and make them sound nicer

terminal pharmacy 10.24.2006 06:00 PM

Dmaj7
Am7

ricechex 10.25.2006 12:48 PM

yeah Maj 7ths can be pretty hot, just throwing them in here and there can add some spice. Plus, they can get funky and gritty too ala Sea and Cake's, the biz.

raging_nelly 10.25.2006 12:55 PM

lmaonaise.

My favorite song to play is Wild Horses. I can play it in both straight G and in open G, although this one really does sound better straight, and I know both the rhythm and lead parts (not that they're that hard). It was the first song I ever learned how to play.

First song I ever learned (fully) was About A Girl.
