How To Construct Basic Guitar Chords
In the present article we will talk about how to construct basic big ways and small chords on the guitar. Before we start we must learn some fundamental music theory, since this will lay the foundations of finding out how to build chords anywhere about the fretboard.
Every basic major or minor chord includes 3 notes - root, third and fifth. The chord carries the naming of its root note, however the root is not always the lowest note, because each chord has chord inversions. Considering that the guitar chords we're discussing consist of only 3 notes, we've 2 chord inversions in total or 3 other ways to play each chord. Now, the thing that makes the major and minor chords essentially different may be the third. You have probably heard the terms "minor third" and "major third". Basically said a small third (used for building minor chords) is an interval between the root and also the third that equals to a few semitones (or 3 frets about the guitar), while the major third (useful for building minor chords) equals to 4 semitones (or 4 frets). Your fifth is the same for both types also it equals to an interval of 7 semitones from the root.
So, if you wish to build a chord, first pick which note you want take as root and where are you want to position it linked to the other two notes. Let's illustrate this with several examples that will hopefully help you comprehend the music theory discussed above.
We are going to take the note A as a root, build a minor chord then all of its inversions. To begin with let's determine which notes we want in order to build the chord. Since we are going to build a minor chord, we will need the minor third and also the fifth. The minor third from your is C (the length between A and C is 3 frets) and also the fifth is E (the length between A and E is 7 frets). Great, now that we know the notes, we could build the actual chords.
Example 1 - A Chord & Inversions
A in root First Inversion Second Inversion A in root, octave up
E||--------------|--------------|--------------|--0---------||
B||--------------|--------------|--1-----------|--1---------||
G||--------------|--2-----------|--2-----------|--2---------||
D||--2-----------|--2-----------|--2-----------|------------||
A||--3-----------|--3-----------|--------------|------------||
E||--5-----------|--------------|--------------|------------||
A-C-E C-E-A E-A-C A-C-E
Imagine if we want to build the major ones? Just use a major third - that's C sharp (C#)
Example 2 - An important Chord & Inversions
A in root First Inversion Second Inversion A in root, octave up
E||--------------|--------------|--------------|--0---------||
B||--------------|--------------|--2-----------|--2---------||
G||--------------|--2-----------|--2-----------|--2---------||
D||--2-----------|--2-----------|--2-----------|------------||
A||--4-----------|--4-----------|--------------|------------||
E||--5-----------|--------------|--------------|------------||
A-C#-E C#-E-A E-A-C# A-C#-E
Pretty clear, don't you think? Using this principle, you can build basic notes literally anywhere about the fretboard. Just remember to practice these examples changing the main note and the inversion randomly, so you learn them well. As an example, instead of saying "I wish to play all B Minor Chords" and playing all the inversions one after another, tell yourself: "I want to play the second inversion of B Minor, after that I want to play D# Minor in root position" etc. and you'll see that you will quickly learn all guitar chords.
