O.K., now you would like to know what all this means? Well then here is a brief
chord description:
Power Chords: |
Power chords don't contain a 3rd note. Technically they are a 5 chord (1,5) Since
the do not contain a 3rd note they can be used in either Major or Minor context. Example: E5 (1,5) is E,B. Power
Chords are used allot in Rock and Roll! |
Suspended Chords: |
A Suspended chord does not contain a 3rd note. It is replaced with a different note.
example: Asus2 (1,2,5) is A,B,E instead if (1,3,5) A,C#,E |
Augmented Chords: |
A augment chord is 1,3,#5. They can be named from any note in the chord. All augmented
chords forms are repeated every four frets |
Diminished Chords |
A diminished chord is allot like the Augmented chords with the exception: 1,b3,b5.
They can be named from any note in the chord, and the augmented chord forms are repeated every THREE frets here. |
Altered Chords |
Altered chords are composed as indicated by the chord name. Example E7b5 is 1,3,b5,b7
(E,G#,bB,D)or Em7b5 is 1,b3,b5,b7 (E,G,Bb,Db) |
Poly chords |
Poly chords are bi-tonal. The contain the notes from two different chords played
at the same time. Example E5/G# is played with the notes from both E5 and G#. |
