Each chord map will hopefully appeal to guitarists and keyboardists of all skill levels. Simple chord shapes for novice guitarists are provided with the following finger system:
1 index finger
2 middle finger
3 ring finger
4 little finger
o play open string
x do not play open string
( bar one finger over more than one string
T that rare occasion that I recommend you use your thumb to fret a note (which probably won't show up during the Challenge)
Today's first chord is E-flat dominant 7th, or Eb7:
Guitarists, I haven't written about the C7 open chord yet, but this particular Eb7 voicing has the same shape -- just avoid the E strings.
Keyboardists, you can play this chord in the root position (Eb-G-Bb-Db), 1st inversion (G-Bb-Db-Eb), 2nd inversion (Bb-Db-Eb-G), 3rd inversion (Db-Eb-G-Bb), and/or skip some octaves with your hands.
The next chord is G minor (minor) 7th flat 5th, or Gm7b5:
Two more tomorrow. Cheers!
