[Dixielandjazz] Charleston (12th bar chord)

[Patrick Cooke]

>>>In the 12th bar of the verse, on
the other hand, I would use a Gm.<<<

  When I see a Gm, I usually alternate between Gm6 and Gm7.  Same for a
Major triad.  On Guitar, I rarely play simple triads. It's actually easier
to add the fourth note.
