Actually he does play those 7th chords and sus chords and whatnot, its probably me with my mindset making you think otherwise LoL
Nah, he doesn't. At least not to my ears. He plays mostly 'cowboy' chords, that's those mostly open chords below the 5th fret.
He can't even play a barre chord properly, last I knew.
My ears are pretty good - but I could be mistaken.
He does play mostly open chords below the 5th fret almost exclusively, well he has a capo so he can play within 5 frets of that, LoL, but he does fool me into thinking he is playing the chord voicings
Nah, he's often out of key. Basing your guitar on him is a losing battle in the long term, as the key should be consistent until it changes and when it changes everyone should know and adapt accordingly.
You can fool a lot of people, however. A capo can help fool 'em.
Also, the root note is not always the first note.
