    Okay, partly to appease the people who say there's not enough technical 
    discussion in here and mostly because I'm curious, what do you (the
    GUITAR NOTES community) like to play over a I-VIx-II-Vx. (In the
    key of G, this would be G-E7-Am7-D7, or some alteration of these
    chords). I know it depends a lot on on the speed/feel/etc. of the 
    song (e.g. Jelly Jelly Blues by the Allman Bros vs. Lay around the 
    Shanty and Put a Good Buzz On by ?), but how do you approach this
    chord progression? The really tricky part is the transition from
    G to E7, since there is that G# note in the E7 chord.
    
    Thanks and have at it - Dave

    	Any combination of the following to me would work.  Yeah, they're
    	the same notes but different riffs occur when I think I'm in a
    	different mode.
    
    	G    G  or  Am
    	E7   A  or  Bm
    	Am7  G  or  Am
    	D7   G  or  Am
    
    	These are in addition to playing say, an E maj with a b7 note.
    	So, you could technically play Am, Bm, Am, Am - or G, A, G, G.
    	Mixing 'em up is where is sounds more creative to me.
    
    	Is this what you meant, Dave?
    
    	Tom

    (In the key of G) I like playing a Bm7-5 or a Dm, between the G and
    the E7
    
    FWIW- Shanty was done by Jonathan Edwards

    yes, the E7 would be an alteration of the expected Em7. But I was
    looking for stuff like Gmaj7-E7b9b5-Eb6/9-D13b9
    
    - Dave who will post something when he has time to think about it
