Guitar Chords
Chords are an essential building block of music. While guitar chords can be easily learned, their complexity increases over time as your playing and understanding grow.
Most musical chords consist of three tones; for instance, the C major chord contains the tones C, E and G.
An altered chord, like E7#9, contains the 1st, 4th, flat 7th and sharp 9th notes from its scale – adding tension and drama to your tune! This can add visual intrigue.
Bass Chords
Figured bass notation provides musicians with instructions for playing on any given bass guitar fret. Every bass chord has a distinct sound, necessitating appropriate finger placement to produce its desired result.
Though most bassists opt for single note lines, chords can add variety and texture to your songs. Here are movable bass chord shapes to help expand your repertoire.
