chord advice

[Charles Fager]

On an E9 neck, what are my easiest chord options on the 8,6,and 5 for playing Bdim7, D7aug5, F7aug5..I lost my chord chart...anybody know where I can get a good simple chord chart so I don't have to bug you guys?...CF

[Gary Shepherd]

You know, you don't have to play the whole chord, right? Just playing a couple of notes from the dim7 chord will usually suffice. I think most players don't play all 4 notes of a 7th chord.

A 1/2 means half-pedal the A pedal, so it raises only a half tone instead of a whole tone.
