![]() If you were to use this same scale shape and play the G major chord as a bar chord, you would be using these notes from the major scale, resulting in a higher voicing of the G major chord: Since our root note is the G, its 3rd degree will be a B, and its 5th degree will be a D.ġ W 2 W 3 H 4 W 5 W 6 W 7 H 8(1) = G W A W B H C W D W E W F# H G Now have a look at the scale shape again, notice the fingering, and that even the open D and G strings are in the triad, since the 1st and 5th degree notes at fret 5 of strings A and D are the same as their neighboring open strings. This triad is of course applicable on all major scale shapes, so if you were to use a shape that roots on the A string, you would apply the 1st 3rd and 5th degree notes and get the major chord, as with this C chord:Īgain, remember the C major fingering, and recognize that’s it is the triad pattern in the major scale. The open strings are triad notes as well. If you take the same scale to a higher voicing, you will arrive at the C major bar chord. Minor Chords Minor chords, or minor triads are constructed the same way, the difference is the minor sound, which is always a flat third degree note in minor triads: Minor Chord = I – b III - V degree notes So minor chords are the root note, a flattened third note (1 semitone below the regular 3rd degree) and the fifth note of the major scale. ![]() We have to flatten the 3rd degree note, which brings us to a small limitation of the G minor chord, since the non-bar minor chord fingering is hard to produce, so we mostly use the minor bar chord fingering: As such, lets return to our original G major chord example, and transform it into a G minor chord. ![]()
