I dont know if anyone remembers me. Its been a long time since I've been here. But I'm back. Did the board ever invest in anymore female guitarist?

Yeah I remember you. The board now has (atleast) one other female guitarist, and more are bound to show up eventually. Well, welcome back, and btw, you don't have to mute the e strings on that b flat chord, you fret them at the first fret.

That's why we practice. As someone who's had to learn how to play chords and tapped harmonics simultaneously on a fretless bass, I think damn near anything is feasable... with practice.

well, their's lots of ways to do everything. You could just play a b flat power chord, we've been showing you the bare chord version. The main problem with b flat and lots of other chords is that they don't use any open strings- hence the reson guitarists write songs in E, A, B, etc. Basicly a B flat chord is only an A moved up half a step. Anyway you can think of playing an A, you can turn into a b flat by raising all the notes half a step (one fret).

We could all use a females perspective every now nd hen, as long as it doesn't pertain to financial matters. :D Just kidding Kimi, welcome back... I hope our staff has cleared up your B-Flat question in more ways than one..
