Two-Handed Close Position Block Chords

Hear "Moonlight in Vermont" on YouTube

Close position block chords (4-note chords with the notes packed together as tightly as possible), like the ones Johnny Smith used on "Moonlight in Vermont", are playable on the melody side of the Stick using two hands. It doesn't require Johnny Smith's huge hands to do it: these chords on the guitar are very difficult. Here are some shapes for the Stick versions:
