HI.. SORRY to post outside the think tank for so much i have asked..in the tabs for shakedown street there are a variety of chords like Ebmi7 and Emi7 and so on below and they all show on one diagram that doesn't even show which fret so i guess it is all forst fret and ya sorta play around it which seems to be how it sounds.. here is what is one there.. can anyone help make sense of it? it doesn't past to clearly but it IS on the tab..

Em7 (7) Ebm7 (6) Dm7 (5)

What it is saying in a minimalist kinda of way is that the shape shown is a Em7 when played on the 7th fret, a Ebm7 when played on the 6th fret and a Dm7 when played on the 5th fret.

Yeh, I wrote that a long time ago and went back and had a look. I can see how that could be confusing. Thanks for clearing that up ronster.
