    To me, minor chords can deliver the most emotion. So I guess I like them best.

    There's no such thing as a favorite chord for me, because it depends on the context. It's like asking your favorite color when in reality how good they look depends on what other colors they're with. How good chords sound depend on the other chords that surround them. Just my $.02.

    Gsus4... F#

    Damn your complex theory. I think I'm one of few people who takes the Nashville number system seriously.

    But... I enjoy using simple stuff like C7-F7-C7-G7 over a I-IV-I-V progression and an overuse of tritones and drenching my playing with slide.

    I've learned alot from Jimmy Herring's playing (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz Is Dead) and the Allmans... Ricky Medlocke, Gary Rossington, (Blackfoot, Lynyrd Skynyrd) etc. Combine all of that with Chet Atkins and Django Reinhardt.

    Southern Jazz-Rock. :D I'll probably be hard pressed to find a better band to see than Derek Trucks Band...

    minors sound pretty neato petito to me
    but on the flipside 7ths also sound pretty damn cool
    minors sound kinda dark but oh so melodic
    and 7ths to me sound happy and lighthearted
    but i voted for minor
    just because i suppose
