Chords in Blues Brothers lessons
Question about the chords in the Akroyd Shuffle and Belushi Bass lessons. I want to know the names of the chords. I know one is B7 (in the 9 and 10 of Akroyd, and the 9th of Belushi and the final chord), but what are the others? And what would be a good chord to “end” the Belushi Bass? The B7 is great if you want to loop it, but you have to stop at some point!

I hope that some day all the TABs will feature every chord mentioned in the challenge videos. Some do, but not all and I think this should be remedied. Yes it’s simple to look up a chord online, but there are so many variations of the chord shapes and then Tony will frequently show us his own shape (same notes being fretted but with different fingers), and using his shape will often facilitate the transitions that follow.
Tony mentioned 3 Chords in this week’s challenges, the B7 which you mentioned. It is an abbreviated B7 = minus pinky on low E.
Then the A7 and E7.

Your are welcome. The A7 is shown here with 1 and 3 but Tony plays it using 2 and 3 fingers.
(Also: of course I meant pinky finger is omitted on high E string for the B7.)
