Guitar chords
"Fool For You" (Curtis Mayfield) Note from AWR: Curtis Mayfield played guitar in an openF#F# tuning (low to (high: F#-A#-C#-F#-A#-F# - basically the open-position
G+G chord, down a semitone) but this is one of the few Impressions songs actually in
F#F# (cf. "Meeting Over Yonder"); they usually favored the related keys of
C#C# or B. Oh, yes, the time signature is 9/8.
