in most of these chords you really dont need to even play the bass note if you are accompanied

just use normal chord progressions with some extra tones added, ie add9's and suspended chords, do something modal, or use some jazz progressions with distortion.

there is no shortcut to learning the theory behind how to sound proggy.

Cheers dude.
I know there are no shortcust other than practice and experimentation. Been playing long enough to know that, its just ive been on a big chord learning rampage with my teacher, just wondered if there were any resources out there that I and my beginner students etc...

personally i think that once you know your major triads/7th in almost every voicing on all string sets, it will become much easier to experiment with other voicings as long as you know what note will do what to each chord

This one sounds pretty sweet but the stretch is hard to nail on the fly

Chur GuitarBizzare on Scalloping: I think your trouble stems from using a powertool instead of files......its much easier to apply force in different ways to something when you can touch it all over without getting a finger lopped off. Much like the difference between Rape and Secks.
