This is my latest toy.  And ohmygawd is it fun.

Dubbioso. Ci sono lotti degli europei qui, ma la maggior parte di loro parlano inglese.

That's all this thing does.  Guitar goes in one track, your vocal mic goes in the other.   Import into your favorite editing tools and mix and master until you can't stand it any more.

Theory isn't a set of hard fast rules that must be adhered to.  It's a framework to work within.  It's good to know the rules, because it helps to let you know when to break them.

Buy both.  For around $250 you can get an Fostek MR8 and a completely awe inspiring transducer mic that will pick up gnat flatulence across the street.

Just as a point of history, Les Paul innovated the solid body electric, but people had been mucking about with electric amplification using pickups for a couple of years before that.  A dude named Beucheau (?) actually has the original patent (1935) for that.

The more you know! 

Couple of things..

1st, B major is five sharps, so

B D# F# is the chord.  Harmonically it's the same as B Eb Gb but the chord will make more sense if we keep to the correct key signature.   I can explain how that will simplify things for you if you'd like.

But anyway, what your nephew has discovered is called an "inversion."  That's where you have all the correct notes of the chord, but they're played using some other note as the "bottom."   Triads have two possible inversions. 

Normally a chord is played I  III  V
1st inversion is III V  I
2nd inversion is V I III

Guitar players don't tend to be as familiar with this as keyboard players, and for all practical purposes, inversions on the fretboard just end up being considered a different voicing.   

It's good that he knows this, and it's even better that he managed to reason it out by himself.  Now you know what it is. 

I'm with Russell, though.  He needs to learn to barre, so make him barre.

I agree to your conditions. 

Oh, and just so the OP doesn't feel too bad, you're not the only one that has thought of this.

I use Chordie's chordpro engine for formatting and distributing pretty much everything I write.  My entire band's songbook is printed in it.

It's a good looking engine, with legible formatting.

I think the Beatles are the last band to ever make a complete transformation from one style to the next.  The really were evolutionary.

When I think of failed attempts at it, I think of Metallica, and Van Halen.  Both bands went away from what it was that made them great, to no good effect.
