Positional Chords 2
Posted by Ian on March 20, 2008
I don’t have much time for this today, so all I’ll have time for is a few more useful positional chords.
Positional 7th (demonstration chord: Bb7)
A|1
E|1
C|2
G|1
Using this pattern, the 7th chord is always the chord that corresponds with the fret on the A string.
Positional Minor Chord (demonstration is Bb Minor)
A|1
E|1
C|1
G|3
Again, the chord corresponds with the fret on the A string: if using this pattern and placing your finger in the 5th fret (D) of the A string, you will be fingering a D Minor chord.
Positional Minor 7th
A|1
E|1
C|1
G|1
Simply place one finger across all strings: the fret on the A string indicates the chord’s name.
And that’s all for now… I probably won’t be able to get much up tomorrow, but I’m hoping to get something on minor keys up on Saturday or Sunday at the latest.
Take Care!
