Capo 1
This allows you to improvise on the pentatonic playing the Bb as an F shape on the 6th fret –
and the F as an open E - really helps with an acoustic version but is also great on electric.
The Ab+9 – all the other versions state it’s a C chord but clearly it’s not.
This version is exactly the same as the record and fits over it perfectly
