Robby,
I know what you mean about the "books".I don't know why they did'nt do them all the way Gordon does them!Sometimes you find them in a different key,relative to the capo.I've even found some that do not use the capo.I found some of these variations to be quite confusing in the early learning days.I do not "read" music,don't have a clue in that realm,just learn from the chord and tab books and from the ear.
The obese E.The chord of many faces.E5no3rd,E,E5,Eno3rd,E drone.Just depends on what book and what song yer lookin at,but it's pretty much the same chord.I think it should just be named "L#t"
I think I have most of the Gordon music books,but one of my favorites is the Old Dan's,original lead & notes.The one in His own handwriting.Wish they were all like that!!
