* the way gerry leonard play the A7 and a#’s is to move the G chord shape up
E A D G B E
A7add4 = 6 5 0 0 6 6
A#6 = 7 6 0 0 7 7
those chords are named relative the the capo being on the 1st fret .
remember there are many many ways to play these chords , but ive studied
the dvd and Am almost sure this is pretty correct . thanks . cristoff –
