One More, and the Truth, and You're All Set

This is a little bit of the µ thing. We're talking a 2 or 9 chord. Well, add9, as when you talk a numbered chord, you're usually talking all the odd numbers leading up to it. A 13th chord should have the 7, 9 and 11. Here, we're just tossing in the 2/9, so we're getting the root, 2, 3 and 5.

These are a pair of nice chords that work great together, being root and 4th/5th of each other. You can nail a lot of jam to the wall with those chords, and they sound groovier than non-mu cowboy chords. With that C, you play either of the open Es and it comes off as an add2, while it's a sus2 if you don't.

While I'm at it, I came along this B minor in an open position that's nice. Playing acoustic, I'm always on the lookout for open-position chords, and this is useful. You don't have the fifth, and if you don't really want the seventh (and who doesn't want the seventh?) you can just mute it and have the root and third. You can always grab an F# on an E string if you really need the fifth. It isn't the prettiest B minor position, but it's a fast way to get to it if you need to switch chords quickly.

Well, that's three chords. Don't know if you could use 'em together, but there you go. Truth? That's something you're going to have to work out for yourself. Sorry.
