Finally! A nice easy fix for the Am7......

x05655

mini-barre across the fifth fret on the top four strings, 2nd finger on the 3rd string, 6th fret.

:D :D :D

Um, that's an A7, isn't it?

Peace

Ummm - not in open D, DADF#AD. I'm not exactly sure what it is....notes are

x A G C D G - so it'd probably be something like Gsus4/9 even though there's an A in the bass....it sounds OK when I've tried it, though!

:D :D :D

There's no 7th, so it would be more accurately Gsus4add9, I think.


I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Totally my mistake! Didn't go back early enough to read we were talking about being in open D. Sorry!

Peace

And with the A in the bass, Gsus4add9/A?

Seems a good substitute for the Am7, anyway. There's two other ways I've found of playing it in open D; one would be similar to the above, x05675, and the other is up at the 10th fret.....although going back, I think Nick suggested a different Am7.

Tricky playing a song all the way through, though, using 1 and 2 finger chords, then having to use all four fingers in an unfamiliar tuning!

:D :D :D

A great two chord tune for getting real groove under your fingers is USE ME by Bill Withers. Eminor and A7.
