So a while back in here I posted a question that basically said for some blues songs ( ok lets say sweet home chicago by EC or Heart beats like a hammer by early Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac ) when playing along it sounds fine to me to go E / A7 / B7. Not many responses here.
Lets say that you are doing full bar chords based on E string and jumping in and out of different strums for a loud blues ( like both of those songs ). Mixing it up. Maybe hitting all six strings sometimes maybe hitting top ones or middles or a root and then top ones. Changing it up as the song flows.
Anyhow to me it seems like I hear some of the real players changing between 7 chords and majors between downstrokes and upstrokes. Getting that pinky going up and down on the 4th string.
I think it sounds just peachy for many songs. Mixing it up again ... do it on some of the 1 chords and/or some of the 4s and 5s.
I have not ( so far ) heard Griff talk about this kind of chord changing during a blues chord progression. Griff? Anyone else have ideas/opinions.
If it sounds right just do it eh?
