Hi Kirk.
I've been looking through a book I have called Blues Fretboard Roadmaps. It kinda reminds of yours in that in one part it talks about moveable shapes: the "FDA Roadmap". Anyway I'm not meaning to make comparisons. My question is about the FDA Roadmap. The author of this book states that by using the 3 major chord formations: FDA, enables you to play any major chord all over the fretboard. This is the formula: F, skip 1, D, skip 1, A, skip 2. It can be done in any order, ie: FDA, ADF, DFA, etc. It's a continuous loop you can enter at any point but the formula remains the same. What I don't get is the statement that you can play 'any' major chord all over the fretboard. Do you think he means you can play FD&A anywhere on the freboard, or that by playing these shapes in different locations you can make ANY major chord? Also, do you have to begin your formula where FD&A are traditionally located as open chords or can you start them anywhere on the fretboard and use the formula? Sorry if this isn't clear and I realize you didn't write this book so it is probably unfair asking you about it but I'll give it a try anyway. If you make any sense of what I'm on about, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you are enjoying Canada, but don't forget to come back to Oz.
All the best, Ken.
