very cool! I think the tab really helps to transition from watching to actually playing it.
Thanks, definitely will use these.
Here's a short lesson in Dominant 7 chord inversions in the key of E. Read the description under the video for more explanation. These chords are some I often use, that's why I showed them. There are many more ways to play chords from the E7 family! I just showed some I like.
This time I tried showing the tab for each chord in the video. How well do you think this works?
Thanks
Robert

The one where you barre the top four strings at the ninth fret and then add the tenth fret on the high E string used to throw me for a loop. I was listening to one of my favorite blues songs: Howlin' Wolf's "Movin'". The main riff has what I knew was a 7th chord, but I went through all the inversions I knew and none of them sounded right. I fired up PChord on my PDA and scrolled through all the inversions it calculated. I finally came across that one and my search was complete. I normally will use ChordFind.com for these sorts of things, but that was not one of the inversions it offered.

Hello Robert,
Again this is a very useful and great lesson! I think that this quite clearly shows how much knowledge players like SRV had of such inversions. Just listen to Lovestruck Baby (Solo) or even Tightrope where two of your shown inversions play a main role. The tab besides the video is a good idea and helps a lot to be able to play along almost immediately.

Yeah, I like the tab overaly a lot. Maybe you could zoom in on the fingering a little closer, to make it easier to see the corresponding positioning of the hand?

There is a full screen mode feature on the video player. I can't zoom now after the fact... but I guess I could have recorded more close up the first time. I thought it may not be needed because of the tab, but that's why I ask for feedback to figure out what's the best way to do these things! Thanks!
