Discovered this trick: When play with bass I often omit the roots of chords delegating this function to a bassist and play 3rd or 7th instead.
E.g. instead of standard changes over | A7 | Dm7 |
A7(+5) Dm7(9)
-----------
-6-------5-
-6-------5-
-5-------3-
---------5-
-5---------
I often play these
A7(13/b9) A7(+5) Dm7(9)
-6----------5----------5
-7----------6----------5
-6----------6----------5
-5----------5----------3
------------------------
------------------------
And it sounds better imho, eh?
