Something that will happen when guitarists get together is the swapping of interesting chords. A player may do something a little different and the others will ask "what is that...how are you playing that chord...oooohhh, that's cool!!".

It's all part of the journey...

So, if we use a cooking analogy (I should never post anything on an empty stomach!), all those chords are also like a spice market :)

If it tastes ( sounds ) bland, try some spices. I gotta go and eat now :D
