Question:
HELP!
on a tab i dont know what the -x- means!
like this:
----------------------------------
-------1--------------------------
--0----0--------------------------
--0----x--------------------------
--x----3--------------------------
--3-------------------------------
What do those x's do? is it skipping them like fingerpicking? or is it muting the string? i dunno. Plz reply
Answer:
Muting.
Answer:
x means don't play that note...muting, as described above.
Looks like you've got a G (no 3) chord and a C 9 (no 3) chord there.
No love for the 3rd...
Answer:
Quite, that tab is identical to:
---------
---------
-----5---
-5---5---
-5---3---
-3-------
...which, as far as I'm concerned, is a heck of a lot easier to play.
Answer:
what does 7th position mean??
like when it says play a g note in the 7th position??
can someone explain to me what this is about??
Answer:
Well, more specifically, it means play the note, but make it so that it doesn't create any kind of recognizable pitch. Percussive is the word. Just an extra $0.02.

To play the note further up the neck.
7th position means your first finger is at the 7th fret, your middle finger at the 8th, your ring finger at the 9th and your pinky at the 10th.
A "G" note in the 7th position would be 10th fret on the A string or 8th fret on the B string.

There is no single place to put the capo for playing any particular song. If you have the sheet music for a song, it will often instruct you as to which fret to place the capo on, but it will usually also tell you the "chords" to play with the capo in that position.
Basically, a capo just changes the effective length of a string, same as your finger does when you fret a note. It just frets lots of notes and does it conveniently because it allows your hand to do other things.
That said, if you're playing an "F" chord without a capo on, and then you place a capo on the 1st fret and play the same "chord" (hand positioning), you will be playing a half step higher than before, or "F#" (which is the same as Gb). For each fret you place the capo on higher, you move the standard position chords up half a step. For another example, if you place the capo on the 3rd fret and play a "G" chord, the actual notes you're sounding are the notes to a (G + 3 half steps = ...) a Bb chord.
Is this making sense?

The formula is that it's an E dominant 7 chord with a flatted 5 note in place of the perfect 5th.
One fingering would be:
0
3
1
2
1
0
or
7
9
7
8
7
x
Answer:
No wonder that formula confused you.
Let's break it down.
E7(b5b7)
Starting with E7: that will give you the E major triad plus the dominant seventh.
E G# B D
The b5 takes the perfect fifth (in this case B) and flats it one step to make a diminished fifth
E G# A# (same as Bb) D
The b7 notes that there is a minor or dominant seventh in the chord, since there's already one there, we won't worry about it. I'm not sure why it's even there.
Your notes are E G# A# and D
Using Dave's fingerings
0 E
3 D
1 G#
2 E
1 A#
0 E
or
7 B (this is a half diminished fifth, for fully diminished fifth, lower this one to 6 or omit)
9 G#
7 D
8 A#
7 E
x
Answer:
Thanks yall...
I really appreciate it!!
So how would i do a E7 (b5b9) chord
is it kind of like a Bb? or not at all??
