Guitar-chord theory draws heavily upon Western musical conventions. For instance, playing chords using stacks of thirds on a six-string guitar in standard tuning is often difficult due to requiring too many fret covers by left hand – drop-2/drop-3 voicing is often employed to combat this difficulty.
Story of Ang Huling El Bimbo is relatively straightforward: four college friends with disparate backgrounds come together, become close, and eventually drift apart over time. Their names are Emman, Hector, AJ and Joy.
Major Chords
Major chords on guitar typically consist of those containing the 1st, 4th and 5th scale degrees and are most frequently seen in songs.
Beginners should begin learning the guitar by first mastering these chords. As your skills increase, more complex chords may need to be added into your repertoire.
Triads are the simplest form of chord, comprised of only three distinct notes separated by an interval of a third.
The above triad begins on C and contains E, A and G notes; its major sound has an upbeat feeling due to containing a perfect fifth; in comparison, minor triads contain perfect fifths but tend to produce more melancholic sounds due to containing melancholy perfect fifths; both major and minor triads should be familiarized with in order to understand their relationships within chord sounds as detailed by Intervals Chapter.
Minor Chords
A chord is made up of several notes strung together and strumming them on an instrument. Chords can be formed from any combination of the basic major scale notes; however, guitarists tend to vary their chord usage according to what’s best suited for their musical composition, by harmonizing scale notes or adding new notes into existing chords.
Minor chords contain minor intervals that create its melancholic tone, as well as perfect fifths for stability, creating a stable sound without dissonant overtones.
Guitar beginners need to become adept at reading chord diagrams and understanding their structure. Circles or other shapes represent notes in a chord, with filled Os or Xs denoting which strings will be played and which should not.
There are various 7th chords that utilize the first, third and fifth notes from the major scale – these include major 7 chords (M7), dominant 7 chords (D7) and diminished 7 chords (m7b5).
