C6th - G vs: D on Top

Erv, you will not have the best of both worlds by dropping s.2 E down to D, since you'll not be able to play a scalar run a la' chromatic strings at the home fret as well as 3 frets up (with the C-C# change). Nor will you have the 13th chord with p.6, nor will you have the higher inversion of the 9th chord with p.5. But you will have s.2 lowered to D, if you want to use the licks Jr. and Reece do with that change.

I have the G on top, with LKL lowering my lower G to F, LKL lowering E to D and RKR lowering my A's to Ab's. LKR and RKL gives you a G9th. LKL, RKR and 5 and 6 give you a full Ab open (C at the 4th fret). 6, 7 and RKR gives you a Bb6th. Everything you try has tradeoffs, that's all.
