I assume you're aware of the the Strobostomp HD's ability to change the tuning when you hold the footswitch and tap the strings? Also, you can color code the different tunings. These things make the n ...

It's just shorthand. The b7 is the most famous 7 chord so we just say "7" and everyone knows what we mean, the same as when we refer to Elvis Presley we can just say "Elvis" and ...

So why is the chord called â€œG7â€ when the â€œFâ€ note is really a b7 in the key of G?

Hi,

I have a half-stop on my 2nd string that seems to work by the end of the 9th string nylon hex nut hitting the 9th string changer finger before it engages the finger.
