Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers questions from off of his Guitar Blog website…

Q). I want to play blues, but the large 7th chords I’ve been trying out (for the 12-bar blues) are too difficult for my level /ability. Is there another way to play a 12-bar blues but with smaller chords? I’ve seen a few country-blues players make small chords (they look like only 2 or 3 notes). But, I’m at a loss, for how they’re doing it. Could you show examples of how the “easy” blues chords work?

A). Any chord, (whether the style is; blues, jazz, country or rock), can be broken down into much smaller chord voicings. These smaller versions, are not just used by guitar players who want to have easier shapes during the time in which their skills are developing. These smaller chord types are also great for playing in larger band settings when there are more instruments playing rhythm in song parts. In this lesson we’re going to look at how larger blues chords can be chopped down into smaller versions. These smaller chords can be used as replacements for any Dom. 7th chord, at any time, (in any style).
