Unless they play like me, and just say, "that chord must use more than three fingers. Doesn't sound punk rock to me. F# it is." :) But yes, to answer your question seriously. -- - | ,''`.Stephen Gran | | : :' :[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `. `'Debian user, admin, and developer | |`- http://www.debian.org | - pgpFqgkKQCNju.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think you've known too few guitar players, or too seasoned ones. Most "people that play guitar" (not "pro guitar players") that I know would hesitate when confronted to a "F#7sus4". Though maybe you're a Jazz or Fusion player and use that chord extensively ;-) > Well, okay, the ones who don't know any music theory wouldn't know what > I meant, but fuck 'em -- all they know is pentatonic minor anyway. :) Hey, what's wrong with that?

I don't think anyone who doesn't already know what guitar tablature is is going to care about this. I think "string and fret notation" is baby-talking it. I don't think I've ever met a guitar player who wouldn't know what I meant if I said, "hey, can you show me how to finger an F#7sus4 in the second position?" or "hey, can you show me how to finger a two-octave A diminished arpeggio at the fifth position?". Well, okay, the ones who don't know any music theory wouldn't know what I meant, but fuck 'em -- all they know is pentatonic minor anyway. :) -- G.
