The idea of these “little” chord voicings is something I talk a lot about, and I hear people say how great they sound…
But they don’t take the time to learn them 
So here’s your chance, it’ll be fun I promise!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but what is shown on the underneath chord chart the fret numbers are different than what you’re playing. So is the chord chart right or is what you’re playing right?
Great lesson, tips and demonstrations Griff. Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson question…. When did you go to Luckenbach ?? NOW THAT’S A SMALL TOWN !!
Is there TABS for this Griff, can’t seem to find them anywhere. ?
Never Mind! I see the graphics correctly now! My Bad!
Your E7 chord example, on the left side, is a flat 7th. The other three examples are just E 7th’s. I’m confused by this
They’re all E7 (1 3 5 b7) with the 4 notes in different orders.
E B D G# =Root on bottom
G# D E B = 3rd on bottom = 1st inversion
B E G# D = 5th on bottom = 2nd inversion
D G# B E = b7 on bottom = 3rd inversion
Actually it’s the Dominant 7th. Blues uses Dominant 7th chords, jazz uses Major 7th chords (AND dominant 7th chords) Pretty sure about this.
Letter followed by 7 = Dominant 7. (E7)
Letter followed by Maj7 = Major 7 (Emaj7)
Letter followed by m7 = minor 7 (Em7)
On the E7, the graphics are showing the 2nd & 3rd & 4th inversions at the 4th and 7th and 10th Frets respectively while you are showing them on the guitar at the 5th and 10th and 12th Frets?????
The 4th, 7th and 10th frets are labeled for reference.
However, the chords are to the left of the 5th, 9th and 12th frets.
A course on little chords with a few solos included would be an interesting addition to your course list.
