G 6 b7 G D7/9
#5 C 7 b9
the numbers represent their place in the key o G
ya can see im walkin between the NATURAL notes
in the key . just playin I IV V , and doin a
chromatic run from the 5th ( D, 3rd fret 2nd string )
up to the A( 5th fret 1st string) which is the dominant
dominant ( 5th of the 5th ) which makes it wanna go
back to G again . ya see ? its D, D#, E,F,F#,G,G#, A ?
aint blues a blast ? : )
