@N-lightMike , I don’t think I can agree with you on this. I think a better choice for me was to use the C shape since they both have the same shape as a D in regards to the first 3 strings being barred). The C would be correct with the Open 4, 12th & 14 notes, whereas the D doesn’t work. To me it looks like I could use a C shape till I got to the 8 note then I would have to change to an E to capture that open string correctly. Also…. I do want to thank you for taking the time to look everything over. I never would have caught my error had you not pointed it out. I’ll go over everything again tomorrow and redo my diagram, when I do you can look it over and see if you agree. With that…. I’m pouring myself a beverage and sitting down and watching some YouTubes.

Thanks @ChuckS . My guitar room is a combination of office/art room/cat room/fish room. I just added a bigger aquarium so now…. I have run out of room and I’m afraid one of my guitars are going to get knocked over. I put a humidify gauge in the basement this morning. It’s registering 35 degrees. Which is dry, but not too bad. I live in Michigan and once winter sets in, It gets dry in the house. Right now, the remodel looks like January or February. Thanks for your insite and thanks for the comment about the cases. I can do that easy.

Thanks @Mrfredsporty , I just pulled in his blues traditions. Very interesting and informative.

@Kitman and @the-old-coach I agree. The root is still D the D7 is just a variation, but still using the D root note. Also the pattern encompasses the note of the D7. Tony states in the CAGED system about flattening the notes. We can flatten the 3 6 and 7th.
This is what I got when I googled ‘is D7 and D the same in musical theory’.
D7 is a D chord with the flatted 7th note of the scale added. A standard D chord contains the notes D, F# and A. The flatted 7th note of the D scale is a C, so a D7 chord would contain the notes D, F#, A and C. Seventh chords are often used to transition back to the root of the chord progression.Ok, guys this is Friday. We are supposed to take the Chord progression and use different shapes. But, first I want to thank the both of you for jumping in on this thread. I was pulling my hair out over it and now it seems like i can see a faint light at the end of the tunnel.

@the-old-coach I printed up the Wednesday challenge and then the CAGED D shape page. those two pages helped the most. Then I drew up all the patterns. If we start apply this with each daily challenge we will master this. I’ll have to look up what we are to do with the Friday Challenge. We got this!

I am still working through this FBW with this weeks daily challenges. Week 3 Day 6 wants us to reinforce our skill on the improvisation challenge on Wednesday. I still think the CAGED shape I am to be using is ‘D”. I can walk the ‘D’ chord down the neck being able to play the notes for the Puckstopper scale. That’s as far as I am at this point. I did make a diagram of what I think we are supposed to do. Do I have any comments?

@PineTreePicker Welcome back. Look forward to your songs

We have to help each other out from time to time. Otherwise we get frustrated to the point of just giving up.

@the-old-coach You could type your message on a Word Document or email. Then copy then paste your message in. I have done that a lot. Especially when we are experiencing issues with the pink death screen

@the-old-coach , ha ha ha….. Haven’t seen the pink screen in a while. Better you than me. You can try to reboot or hit that refresh button. Usually I have to wait till the next day. Looking forward to your thoughts

@albert_d , yes the humidity is a biggie. Guitars can develop some pretty big cracks on the surface.

@the-old-coach ,It’s sad to hear she’s gone. But, people remembered are never really gone are they?,

This is the hard part @Philb , we have to take everything we learned in FBW and start applying it to the challenges. The day will come where we’ll just be sitting on the front porch noodling up songs.

@Kitman ,What helped me is I printed up the daily challenge and the FBW CAGED D shape page. I was making different diagrams and then it hit me on what I was supposed to do. I really do think this is correct. Tomorrow, i go through it again and practice the scales as I go up and down the neck. Thanks for your comment.

@Loraine Let me say, your strumming is getting a lot better also liked that added touch of slapping your guitar. Thank you for introducing me to the song. Your video sparked an interest in me to look up the song. So good job. Keep it up.
