Guitar Lessons #2 - Mike Hayes



For guitar "E" is the Open Chord starting at the end of the neck. Mike Hayes show be the very common 12 bar blues. The type of chords he wrote down for me are called "drop two" which is because the "E" and "A" strings are not played. Learning this new way of 'inverting the chords' gives the guitar a brighter sound and blends better with lower registered piano or accordion.

Mike has been playing for 25 years and has worked for Dave for two years. I hope to gain some insight and knowledge working with him. I expressed to him that my 'intonation' and 'tone' are the areas I need help in. Ok get to work already!!
