chord forms - I Got Rhythm (in G).
These are the 3 string chord forms that are so easy
to move around the neck. Two ways to make dominant
7th chords are shown in the bridge's changes. Most
of the chord forms used have dropped the root. For
example a G Major7 consists of the 1,3,5,7 (g,b,d,f#)
the form shown contains the 3,7,5 (b,f#,d). The
root is implied by the other notes. |
