*the way Gerry Leonard play the A7 and A#'s is to move the G chord shape up
E A D G B e
A7add4 = 6 5 0 0 6 6
A#6 = 7 6 0 0 7 7
those chords are named relative the the capo being on the 1st fret.
remember there are many many ways to play these chords, but ive studied
the DVD and am almost sure this is pretty correct. thanks. Cristoff-
