So much fun. I feel like I need a straw hat and a bow tie!

Do you know, as someone relatively new to this CBG thing, I cannot help but detect a generosity of spirit in the whole enterprise. And here's one of the leading lights effectively saying "here's how it's done, now go out and rip it off"... What I AM going to do this very evening is go and reduce one of my redundo six-strings to a four-string in G7 and have some fun!

I like these kind of chord progressions.
