Cathy I am intersted in your GaddD chord. My very limited music theory tells me that the triad that makes up the Gmaj chord is G, C & D. Therefore there is no need to add the D, it is already there. I believe it is the 'perfect' 5th in the Gmaj scale.
By the way, I have visited your website on more than one occasion, I am impressed 
Thanks, Ben. I'm glad you enjoyed the music. I have to give a lot of credit to the other members of the Lightfoot Tribute Band: Derek Kidd, Ed Mullen and Matt Carl and the elusive Lori who couldn't make the last concert. If you want to hear more, go to

The GaddD I'm referring to is a common chord. Instead of playing the third fret of the 1st string, play the third fret of the 2nd string. Many times, particularly on songs that are strummed, you can play the third fret of both strings.
