I'm doing an un-plugged duo act, and while I'm playing for many years, and am pretty sophisicated on the neck, what I know about theory could fill an index card. One side.
Problem is this. is there some magic forumulea that can help me to figure out second guitar parts? Aside from using barr chords that miror the open chords, or vice verca, or finger picking fills, etc. To figure out substitute chords that will work with the main chords and blend nicely. Fo example, watching videos of 3 guitar acts like the Eagles,, or Skynyrd, one can see thatall are often playing different fingerings at different frets. How can I quickly decipher these subtitute chords? If there is no easy answer for the theory illiterate where should I start?
