I particularly like voicings using strings 3, 5, and 8 on E9. It suddenly dawned on me today that these string numbers are identical to the pitches they produce on the open neck, i.e., 3rd string is the 3rd (G#), 5th string is the 5th (B) and 8th string is the 8 or 1 or root (E).
What you do with this pearl of wisdom is up to you.  |

| Jim, this is a nice advantage when learning to read music. When reading music from "staff" paper, I see the lines and spaces away from the root note as intervals. Not the actual note. So knowing what the strings are, as intervals to the key signature, are the key. (No pun intended) This is something I stumbled onto while trying to learn 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.' I couldn't find any tab for that. |

| Neat observation on 3,5,8 being the string number and chord interval. I love those open grips (also 4, 6, 10) when playing alone. They are very organ like. They sound really good for classical music and hymns. But they don't seem to work too well when playing with a group. |

24 hours in a day. 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?
Seriously, that 3-5-8 thing is strange. It goes all to hell as soon as you press a pedal. Still, if it helps you remember, there's nothing wrong with that.
Taking it one step further, the 6th string is the 6th tone of the B6th chord.
