Applying Various Chord formula
Now we have to apply various chord formula like 1 3 5, 1 3b 5, etc on some chord. For example we pick up A chord.
So A has 1 3 5 as A , A+2T, A+2T+1.5 T
So 1 = A
3 = C#
5 = E
So we have to select A , C# and E from string and we have A chord.
Learn how to read chord diagrams.
One way to do so is like this:
x-----------
|---------A-
|----2----E-
|----2----A-
|----2----C#
|---------E-
A is played open is base note of the chord. We have marked them according to the chords formula.
x-----------
|---------A-1
|----2----E-5
|----2----A-1
|----2----C#3
|---------E-5
Now for minor chord we need, 1 3b 5...so we have to flatten 3,i.e C# here. So we have to move finger to flatten it, so Am chord is:
x-----------
|---------A-1
|----2----E-5
|----2----A-1
|----1----C-3
|---------E-5
Am
Sus Chords
Sus2 is 1 2 5 chords. So we have to flatten 3 by 1T or 2 frets.
So we have
x-----------
|---------A-1
|----2----E-5
|----2----A-1
|---------b-2
|---------E-5
Asus2
Similarily sus4 chords are 1 4 5 chords, that add .5T or 1 fret to 3 note in scale.
x-----------
|---------A-1
|----2----E-5
|----2----A-1
|----3----D-2
|---------E-5
Asus4
7 Chords
Now for A7 we need 1 3 5 7...7 = 5 + 1.5T= E = 1.5T = G
We know that 1 = 8 in octave, that is 8 and 1 is same note...So we can have 8 - 1T = 7...So we will flatten 1 i.e.A(not base one but in the G string) by 2 frets...So we have:
x-----------
|---------A-1
|----2----E-5
|---------G-1
|----2----C#3
|---------E-5
A7
Similarily Am7 is 1 3b 5 7...so we have
x-----------
|---------A-1
|----2----E-5
|---------A-1
|----1----C-3
|---------E-5
Am7
Diminished Chords
Diminished chords have formula 1 3b 5b..
So we have to flatten both C# and E by 1 fret.
x-----------
|---------A-1
|----1----Eb5
|----2----A-1
|----1----C-3
|---------E-5
Adim
Diminished 7
Formula for this is
1 3b 5b 7b dim-7 = minor 5 flat 7 = m5b7
7 = 5 + 1.5T so 7b = 5+1T or 8(or 1) - 1.5T or 3 frets
x-----------
|----------1
|----1-----5b
|----2-----1
|----1-----3
|----2-----7b
Adim7
x-----------
|----------1
|----1-----5b
|----2-----1
|----1-----3
|----2-----7b
Half Diminished 7
Formula is 1 3b 5b 7 half diminished = minor 5
x-----------
|----------1
|----1-----5b
|----2-----1
|----1-----3
|----3-----7
Augmented
Formula for augmented chord is 1 3 5# .
x-----------
|----------1
|----3-----5#
|----2-----1
|----2-----3
|----1-----5#
So we can also make chords for E, C etc.
