The first sounds like an Fdim at the 4th fret slid down to the 3rd fret. The 2nd sounds like some kind of a A minorish chort at the 5th fret.

I play
D(open chord)
F#7(fingered with open e string)
G (pos III then Dshape@VII) A(V) D(V)
A(V) Bm(VII) A(V)

if that makes sense

oh shoot Im stupid, those first chords. thanks Zak.

I actually never played the D string or give it much further thought, but it's actually all the same chord just inverted.

Off the subject a little, maybe . . . but does anyone ever watch the big band rhythm guitarists play triad and four note chords in different inversions so they can stay in the sweet spot on those big 'ol archtops?

They really know their voicings so they can invert each chord with the root, 3rd and 5th and 7th on the low E and stay pretty much between the 3rd and 9th frets or so. I love that!

They use alot of diminished chords to connect up the chord melody lines and create movement. A real art form.

"Check out Guitar George
He knows all the chords
But it's strictly rhythm
He doesn't wanna make it cry or sing"

That stuff is very impressive. One day I'll make an effort to learn that stuff. For now, it seems really complicated. Gotta know your theory.

Yeah, save it for one day when you are old and retired and have a jazz trio. You could do chord melody versions of surf classics.

I just kind of have to laugh here. I just made a quick run and had "Ruins" playing in the car. I'm pretty blown away by your skill, so it's funny to come back and hear you talk about something on the guitar seeming complicated. I know what you mean, though. Chord voicing like that is its own bag and takes time and in depth study to give it its due.

Also like when Wannes somewhere said drums are too complicated, then on another post talks in detail about diodes, capacitors, tube bias . . .

Just struck me funny. I guess this is ok since I think the original question has been pretty much answered.

G#dim slid to Fdim, then a Bdim.

I suck at this tab shit, but here it is:

----7--4--------10---------

----7--4--------10---------

-----------------------------

I've seen this tab before. The Bdim just sounded a little high to me.

BTD - We'll be there Saturday... see ya then.

Here's a link to a great book of transcriptions by Fred Sokolow. It includes "Slaughter on 10th Ave". I found it to be a great help in learning that tune, and many others. It was originally from a show done in 1939

There's a great example of sliding diminished chords up by George Harrison on the Beatles recording of "Til There Was You". (At least I THINK George played them)
