Eb7 voicing

[mellowsun]

has anyone pointed out if you leave the bass player on root and fifth duties then you can play the 3rd and 7th of Eb7 or pretend to call them the 3rd and 7th of A7 (is it? I've got a cold and nothing is making sense)

Dunno but there's something along the lines of you can play a blues using the 3rd and 7th by just shifting position of one or both fingers up and down a semitone. E.g.

Eb7: x x x x 4 6 x
Ab13 x x x x 5 6 x
Bb7 x x x x 7 5 x

or something

Guide tones, very handy, although it's more like:

Eb7 xx56xx
Ab7 xx45xx
Bb7 xx67xx

Cowboy Eb7 !

why would that be a 'cowboy' Eb7? There's nothing wrong with using the C7 shape further up the neck ... depends on how many strings you want to sound and what voicing suits.

You know Rocky Horror Picture Show - where some people go along year after year for the audience participation and have a Pavlovian response if you quote bits of the film in any environment?

I think it's a bit of that

Following that theory you have 8 shapes for Eb7 using drop 2 and drop 3 voicings, and if the melody note is a chord tone it's made the decision even easier because you tend to put that note on the top of the voicing if you can.

16 if you use drop 2 set 1 & 2 and drop 3 set 1 & 2.
Some are a bit unwieldily though.
I use 4 of them most of the time.
