Re: Chop Chord Choices for Faster Changes
This probably gets posted in just about every thread on this topic, but some people, of which I am one, believe the 7-4-5-2 D chop to sound weak due to the 1-3-1-3 voicing with no 5. I like 2-4-5 x for chopping a D. Bill used that shape when he chopped a V chord for keys where he used a G chop shape as his I. If you look at the YouTube videos of "My Little Georgia Rose" with Bobby Hicks on banjo, and "Uncle Pen" with Bobby Hicks on fiddle, you can see him use this shape for his E in the key of A, and his F# in the key of B.
