Something to share that has helped me a lot.

A well known lovely old western swing number with a fairly straightforward chord progression and, if you play along with it, it will take you through a couple of key changes I think Bb/C/Eb ( but I could be corrected on that) Play along for an hour or so, vary your chord inversions until your comfortable with it then, if you have one, move it on over to your C6th neck and do the same again on that neck.

Now, if I am talking rubbish here, fair enough. go read another post I completely understand but what you need to understand is that even with my limited ability to play this thing we all love there are others out there like me who know even less than I do about music and a little help is worth a lot of sympathy.

If you are still with me on this post I will follow it up with a video of my efforts if there is any positive reply......

John, that's brilliant! Stuff like this is great to pop on repeat and get a feel for which moves work (and which don't!) around the chord progression. Thanks for sharing - I'll try to give this a go later on :)

OK here is a clue on the back neck it involves a lot of alternating tween pedals 5 and 6 AND the blind leading the blind
