I was just playing the other day and finding that I was wanting to learn some new chords/shapes.

So, what's your fave chord and how do you play it?

octatonic

Major 7th sharp 5 chords.

Here they are in C:

I havent noticed the diagrams of the fretboard with differing string thickness before. This is really helpful to me as a lefty.  Cheers.
