Haha - no probs at all!

But if it is simple old Cmaj7 wouldn't we have to drop that fourth string a step?

E - X
B - 5
G - 4
D - 5
A - 3
E - X

Still, I agree with you completely it makes most sense as Em6. If we choose to voice a root on the open E then it all falls into place:

E - X
B - 5
G - 4
D - 5
A - 4
E - O

...Unless the song doesn't have an E in that position, of course.

BTW, C#m7b5 is not only a stunning pain to type on an iPad, you are right that it's a finger twister to play too. And yet it is just the type of thing Matt Schofield's playing is full of. For example, here's his fingering for F#13b9:

E - 3
B - 4
G - 3
D - 2
A - X
E - 2

Believe it or not, in the sequence that comes from (in a Guitar magazine) it sounds really good. Here's another - B7#5#9:

E - 8
B - 8
G - 8
D - 7
A - X
E - 7

Hurts the brain, don't it?

Cheers - C
