John McLaughlin “Open” Chord Acoustic Guitar Voicing’s

Hi Guys,

Apologies for not creating video’s recently, but I have had a serious internet/creator burn out [hard to believe I know, but it’s been difficult to get motivated]. Also, the heat here in the UK has made even practicing difficult as it’s gone up to 37/38 degrees at times.

But, I will eventually add a video for these wonderful John McLaughlin “Open” chord voicing’s found in “Belo Herozonte” and the “Que Alegria” album.

So, without further ado, here they are.

[Some are quite common and others not so, but they all resonate and compliment each other beautifully on the acoustic guitar].

OPEN CHORDS:

John’s favourite chord shape [for acoustic]

Same shape from 4th fret

Simple 2 finger shape
