Sorry for the late post, it took me a long time to get the lyrics to line up with the changes. Also, make sure you get the acoustic version! That is the one that we have based this off. This remix of a classic Tupac song is not only beautiful and poetic, it is also full of very tasty jazz chords from top to bottom, wtih jazz fills. This beautiful chord progression is also a lot of fun to jam in Ab with a friend, enjoy the Maj7 barre chords, too!

I have no personal history with this song, hence it means very little to me. However, all the pieces of this tutorial are very portable to other contexts. After all, everything goes better with a little hot sauce.

I use this barre chord a lot in jazz stuff like a ii-V-I progression. Here's what I find works at least with my hand. If I am going to play it like Tyler with the barre-finger going straight across the fret, I use the pinky instead of the ring finger. However what I do most of the time is use Tyler's fingering (index finger and ring finger) but my barre-finger is a bit diagonal (the tip of my ring finger is right at the fret on the C string, but on the A string, the finger is almost lying across the previous fret. Whew! It is really difficult to describe in words (I don't have a camera) what my hand is doing. I hope I have made myself reasonably clear. Nonetheless, stick with your Maj7. It is one awesome chord, and it is closed and movable. I play it more than the regular triad nowadays.

Thank you for the kind words Doc, that is why I always try to throw some hot sauce in. To play and learn a song it usually needs personal history, but I try to fill up that space with ideas that you can transfer to other contexts as well so every lesson has at least a little something for someone, happy you enjoyed that jazzy action.
