Hi All

Further to Charlies excellent Guitar Music Theory Thread :

This is aimed primarily at our newer players but I feel that this is a good reference for all.

I came across this site while doing a bit of research into the Maj 6th chord and the Min 7th chord that contain the same notes but the order and therefore emphasis is different. It's a two for the price of one chord shape once you know it. (Charlie mentions this point in his thread)

for example

C E G A = C 6
A C E G = A min 7

6th Chords make a great ending sound in Jazz. e.g. try this

D min 7 / G7 / Cmaj7
now this
D min 7 / G13 / C6

The idea is to not get hooked up on the theory and just use what sounds good.

Have a look at the site and bookmark it for reference. There is some good stuff on there. Bit of advertising on the sides but nonetheless good free info for reference.

All the best
George.

Thanks for that, George. Much appreciated. I find the whole theory about chord structures absolutely fascinating and I love to learn new ones.

This place is also excellent (www.justinguitar.com.) His name is Justin Sandercoe and he really knows his stuff.
