For anyone who isn’t using safari:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXWh1RiIo0M#t=13I liked his advice of just rolling the chords. Since there are so many notes, I think it has a really nice effect and gives every chord a fuller sound.

I think this is an interesting way to think about 11 and 13 chords. Using triads of different scale degrees instead of stacking thirds on a root gives a whole different perspective on what notes you’re using to create a particular sound and how those notes can be related to your next chord.

This is great way to free up a lot movement on bass I think. It’s hard to create those triads so quickly on the neck but the shapes make it pretty useful. Also, I loved the half-step movement he used later on in the video, I think that works really well with the chord triads he is using.
