Level 2
Building Chords From the 5 string. There are some simple rules for building chord shapes. Once we understand them we can use them to play any chord we want! We’ll start with a major chord built from the 5 string.
Level 2
Major Scale Form Try this major scale form with the one note played with your second finger. That means whatever note that is, the position you play in will be the number of the fret before the one note. For instance, if you want to play an A major scale on two octaves, put your second finger on the A ( fifth fret of the 6 string) and start from there. You’ll notice that you can use your first finger to play the 7th too!
Level 2
find the name of any chord The chord namer will automatically name a chord shape (if a valid chord shape is supplied.) Simply select the circles on the fret board that correspond to where your fingers go and hit “Go”. A few things to watch out for:
