Composed by Brian Streckfus. Instructional,Singer/Songwriter. Tablature. 6 pages. Brian Streckfus #954402. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1370027).Learning chords on guitar is quite difficult. Fret numbers are usually arbitary (and indeed counter-intuitive) to what the chord actually is (unless it is on a single string). There are patterns to follow, but they are buried in a convoluted foggy swamp. The tuning of guitar strings essentially puts the music theory in a blender and one has to study for a long time to decode it. This is why I think adding a staff line of sheet music is beneficial to help anaylze what is actually happening. It is my hope that this PDF will shine some light on how chords are built so that you don't have to memorize them on by one, instead you memorize how they are built and their shape. This PDF shows chords that commonly happen, so it is by no means an exhaustive list.
For knowing how to use chords, see my chord progression generator uploads.
Tips:
1. There is redundacy for a reason; this pdf shows multiple ways of playing the same chord.
2. The first two pages are for the music theory purists in that there is hardly ever an uneccesary note to mantain the name of the chord. This is useful for understanding what notes are needed for a chord (it's a cliche for guitarists to have overly large chords).
3. Pages 3 and 4 are the famous voicings.
4. Pages 5 and 6 are the bar chord versions. These versions are physically harder to play, but they can add a lot of clarity and simplicity to your playing (the famous voicings on pages 3 and 4 are seemingly random). They are much easier to slide to any key you want and much easier to see similiarities and patterns between chords.
