Buddy:
On C6, lowering strings 4,5,6 a half tone gives a b5b9 chord on strings 1,3,4,5,6. Do you use this? Example? I was shown where it can be used as a sub for a dom. 7, but it sounds better just as a b9.
The guys into jazz theory like Jeff Lampert and John Steele scare me and I can't absorb much of it at a time. Seems there is much to be learned just from the circle of 4ths/5ths.
If you'd rather respond by email, my address is rwgrossman@aol.com. |

Bob, Bob, Bob.... 
Forgive me for intruding on your question to Buddy.
You come up with the darndest chords. Ha!
I'd say that would make a nice II chord, just offhand... like perhaps in "Here's that Rainy Day" four bars from the end. There would be other places too, I'm sure, but that would be one.

Bob,
I too do NOT wish to upstage Buddy.
But I do have a question for you. When you list strings 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 with 4, 5 and 6 lowered a half a tone, are you including the standard raise on string 1 (1st string G to G#--pedal 5)?
Or were you talking about where the first string is a D note and left unchanged?

Carl:
D note on first string. Sorry, I was assuming BE's setup. |

You have to thank Jeff Lampert for that one!
A II chord? I'll try it. |

| This is to move it back up the ladder in hopes that Buddy will see it. |

Bob don't let Jeff or John scare you, that's the last thing they want to do.
If they give an answer to something just digest it slowely bit by bit and try it put practically.
They are both generally very good at also providing a good usage from something.
Same for Carl Dixon above too. Always willing to help if they can. |
