triads and barre chords, barre chords are thicker, triads are softer

Ive got a question, when you want to make a key change, is it best to change the key to one of the major chords in the original key, or do key changes have no set rules?

It sounds smoother if you change it with a major chord that both keyshave in common. ^_^...
but there are no rules anyway.

That would create either a Dmaj6 or a Bmin7 depending on which note is in the bass. The general idea behind it is the main rhythm plays simple major or minor chords and the second part adds harmonic extensions to it. So guitar one could play an open A (A, C#, E) and guitar two could play a Gsus2 (G, A, D) which would create an A7add11 (A,C#,E,G,D). It's a pretty simple way of making complex, piano-like chords. If you learn how to build chords and scales you will have an unlimited amount of options at your disposal.
It tends to work better when the first guitar is playing open or bar chords and the second is playing closed position triads. If both guitars are playing full chords it will sound muddy.

So who wants to start up that theory debate again...?

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.
