1 C
2 D
3 E
4 F
5 G
6 A
7 B
8 C
9 D
10 E
etc

A major chord is the 1 3 5 of the major scale, so a C major is C E G. If you add an 'A' (the 6th in the C major scale) you have a C6. If you lower the 3rd to an Eb you get a Cm6. To put it simple a chord name consists of :

1) root. The 'c' in C-major
2) type. 'major' 'minor' 'suspended' 'augmented' or 'diminished'.
3) whatever else is added. the '9' in your F#madd9.

There is some more stuff to it but it's best to get a firm grasp of the basics before moving on. Anyway, enough of this. Other people can explain this way better then I can, so check this: http://www.guitarreference.com/chord_study_1.htm

Good luck!]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152331 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152320 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 03:14:05 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ginger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152320 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152316 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 03:00:17 +0000 E B F# G (Emadd9)

With a capo that becomes:
F# C# G# A (F#madd9)

A F#m only has the F#, C# and A notes. The easiest way to play these three notes would be , make the full barre for a fuller sound.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152316 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152314 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 02:52:02 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ginger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152314 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152201 Sun, 15 Jan 2006 12:33:19 +0000 you put the capo on at the second fret and play Em - 0 2 2 0 0 0 - because of the capo, the Em chord you're playing is actually an F#m...think, if you like, that the capo is playing the barre for you - in effect, that's what a capo is - a movable barre or a movable nut....

:D :D :D

I'm familiar with tones and stuff not so much as to what makes chords and what you call them. I know what basic chords are in standard and i use the same shapes in capo. But sometimes, like in this case i leave off something, so instead of the x24432 for Bm i am using in 2nd capo fret...,0240xx the tones are similar but not the same but when i try to run chords from that i can find about three but it's lacking something. Can you help?

Thanks]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ginger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152199 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fm-new-question/#post-152197 Sun, 15 Jan 2006 12:11:12 +0000
Having said that, have you considered using Am and Em shapes with a capo on the 2nd fret? The Am will then become Bm, and the Em will become F#m...

:D :D :D

The ones i have in my notes is 244222. Is that correct? Is there an easier one than that?

I'm trying to write a song that's in the key of Bm and chord next to that is the F#m if I'm not mistaken.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
