G7

[A. Kingstone]

Christian's reference to 'banjo chord' help me realise I hadn't played this chord in half a century.
I may need that banjo after all.

I play parts of that all the time xx5556 for a good C7 shape. xx555x is a good movable C major, x7555x is good for C/E....

It would have to be a 6-string banjo tuned like a guitar though!

[A. Kingstone]

Christian always has a 'wink and a nudge' to his posts. I came across the long lost G7 while faking some classical voice leading. It lasted about 10 seconds but I rediscovered that old G7 so thanks Christian.

Movement is what it's all about!

You can in fact get those

It’s the next step to leaning all the scales, arpeggios and theory. Learn this stuff then play around with it.

Nobody ever says to learn the major scale and then exclusively solo by going up and down it diatonically. You gotta play with it, bend it, slide into it. Play another key over the tune.

ahh..a "folk" essential..paul simon used it often in his work...and of course..country blues

all chords are fair game and while not all have equal weight from a jazz players prospective all should be seen and used as they all contain "tones"
that can be part of a harmonic/melodic sequence

Ted Green progressions have some very basic triads in them

chords like this lowly G7 remind us of our beginnings

You guys never play around the campfire?

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks more like Gaug6th to me...goes to F#7 then Bm.

I'll defer to the banjo master.

[Rob MacKillop]

Always a wise decision

[StringNavigator]

Within the Long A on the top four strings resides Lady of Spain. But in the cowboy grip of G7 you can hear the corn grow. It's all sleight of hand.

[Ralphy]

I thought it was some sort of economic meeting, resolving to more or less the same old song and dance.
Sorry, but I could not let this one go by

That's what I was thinking. I use that voicing in Tom T Hall's "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died". And of course, the Stones' version of "Love In Vain."

Somebody post a C chord. I can't stand the unresolved tension!

Wasn't there a composer's wife who played a dom7 on the piano to get her husband out of bed because he couldn't stand it not being resolved?
