LOTS of stuff you can play like that!! If you’re doing a solo gig-just your guitar and voice-those open strings take up a lot of space and give you a fuller, more stable accompaniment to sing over. I stole the Aadd9 and the Badd4 ideas from The Edge. Near as I can tell these are the type of chords he uses in the verse after the guitar break in “Pride”. Thanks for chiming in!

Either term works. In classical guitar music, depending on the nationality of the publisher, you can see “barre”, “bar”, “barr”, Ceja, C, or even 1/2C or a “cents” symbol (a capital C with a vertical slash through it) which indicates a 1/2 barre.

If you want a great example of a song that uses something like this, check out "Seagull" by Paul Rodgers, which is on the first Bad Company album. It's in Drop D and the verse chords are D C G/B D. (He plays some embellishments and such, but that's pretty much it.) The chorus is D A C/A G/A D. Pretty strongly Mixolydian with a dip into Ionian.

Yeah. Either combining 2 blues keys or borrowing that bVII from parallel mixolydian. You can also think of it as borrowing from parallel natural minor.

my first kiss album was animalize , i had no expectations of kiss .they where just like queen to me,in that they had evolved and changed so when I got to the elder it was just another kiss album I had not heard, i had no context . for years it was my third favorite kiss album. now ,understanding what had gone on before and where music was at in 81 i wonder why they did not think of releasing the elder and there "heaviest record yet" as they had promised at the same time . i know time ,expense etc would have been factors ,but surly that was achievable ?

I guess they could have-I think they were in a squeeze, financially, with the record company though.

I REALLY think those songs set the bar for “Creatures”!

I was a HUGE fan of this album (like every Kiss album) when I first heard it in the late '80s on a reissued cassette (stolen long ago by someone). I have three versions: an original 1981 vinyl, the 2014 180 Gram Reissue, and a cheap CD Reissue of which I have no idea on the release date. The 1981 pressing I have has a clear inner sleeve with only technical info but no lyrics. The cardboard sleeves are almost exactly the same. The two major differences are the inner sleeves (1981 plastic vs 2014 lyric paper) and the track listings are different as well. The 1981 has The Oath as the first track of side 1 whereas the reissue has the originally intended track listing and starts with Fanfare on side 1. Check out Discogs to see images of various versions.

I tend to go with the "loose wrist" theory. Early on, as a student of Dave's, he preached appropriate anchoring of the arm and wrist on the guitar body. It took years to understand what he was telling me "anchored arm, loose wrist." But once you learn to anchor your arm to the guitar body and let your wrist be loose you begin to appreciate why it helps SO MUCH! Watch great guitar players doing rhythm or lead parts. Their arms for the most part are anchored but their wrists are quite loose. Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Glen Campbell, Brad Paisley are great examples.
