This afternoon I was picking at the guitar playing along with Jimi's "Belly Button Window" from his posthumous "Cry Of Love" album.Anyway there were a few chords that I just couldn't pick out no matter how hard I tried to decipherThey weren't 9th,13th,Aug. or any other familiar chords . After a while I had one of my "Eureka" moments and I figured out why I didn't know them-they were "Umbilical Chords".

:D I'm sure if you check YouTube, there's someone giving a course on how to play every known rock song using only three of those chords. You just got to believe! :lol:

Well, Jimi was a big fan of the "seven-flat-nine" chord... Foxy Lady, Voodoo Chile (slight return). My all-time favorite of his is Midnight Lightning.
