I have allways liked Robben Ford's interpretation of "Help the Poor".
I am not a theori-pro on chord theory but could someone please tell me how the chords go in "Help The Poor" as Robben Ford is playing them.
(I would believe he has added somethig to the original chords....!!)

thanx again.

I pulled out my POD and tried the chords you gave me instantly.
I really appreciate it.

Being a newbie here I am really amazed by the help I get in this forum.

thanx again.

Once you have the rhythm part together, you can check out kirk95's fine post here on soloing on this tune:
