Guitar Chord Question.?

Question

There is a church group that plays guitar. I play along with them, but I've noticed that some of them play different chords than the regular written chord progression. They are usually playing further up the neck. What is this called. Where do i find which chords go with which. Thanks

Answer 1

They're playing the same chords you are, just an octave or two higher. I don't think there's really a "one-word" term for doing this. Honestly, if you really want to know about what they're doing....just ask them. It's at a church, so it's not like they're going to cuss you out or call you stupid or anything. Seriously, just ask them next time.

Best of luck, and have fun!
