Texas Swing Guitar

Here are some companion Texas swing guitar chords that Annie uses for backup. This is one variation of about a half dozen that she plays. I hope to put some additional variations out at some point. We're in the key of "A" here but the same pattern goes great from G up to about C. Since many mandolin players also play guitar I thought this would be a nice addition to the mandolin swing chords.

There are slight differences in the mandolin and guitar versions. I mentioned in the mandolin swing section that there are endless variations and chord patterns that can be used so if you want to match up exactly with the guitar player, sit down and work it out chord for chord if you feel that's necessary. For example, the second guitar chord in this pattern is a m7b5 while the mandolin version uses a dominant 7th. Those two chords share some common notes but have a slight different feel. Have fun and don't forgot to experiment.
