what is the F# chord? and what is the best way to play it. high or low on the neck for this song. i was playing the dimished chords on the 3rd and 4th frets for G and G#.

don't have a clue to what the big circle means!
thanks in advance,
-rob

    circle means diminished

    circle with a slash is minor 7 flat 5, but I play diminished for that specific chord

    thats an F#dim, play the same chord as you were for the 3rd and 4th frets, just on the 2nd.

    actually, I play these variations of the chords on that chart, basically the same but I think it sounds better. One thing to note is the last bar or box of the 1st A and the B part, you should listen to the recording, its like one shot of B7 then a pause then a subtle F7 or F9

    Anyways, good luck, its a fun tune.

    Often I'll just play a 5th fret D9 instead of that F#...it makes for a nice dramatic drop to the B that follows.

    best,
    Jack.

    I play a C7 before the B7 like in the first line.

    The F#m7b5, D9/A, or F#dim is really a lot like the B7. I like the C7 (like in the first line) to add some movement and give it a bit of a bluesy sound but any of these will work.
