Hello Steve,
I received the attached text list of the main guitar chords
from someone else on a guitaring list. It should help in
most cases but is not exhaustive, e.g. the B chord is
explained as a four string chord not using a barre but, of
course, the full B chord would be a five string chord with a
barre on the second fret.
HTH,
John.

Hi All,
Anyone know a good resource for guitar chords? As in, the
fingering and
fret positions etc.
Also, anyone done their guitar grades without reading
braille music?
Although I understand the make up of sheet music, I can no
longer read it
and don't know braille music. Any ideas anyone?
Steve
Guitar Chords
There are 12 basic chords:
A
A sharp or B flat
B
C
C sharp or D flat
D
D sharp or E flat
E
F
F sharp or G flat
G
G sharp or A flat
If a chord does not state its minor or major status, it is a major chord, e.g.
e alone means e major.
There are 8 common chord variations:
Augmented
Diminished
Major
Major 7th
Minor
Minor 7th
9th
7th
The chord name will be given first, followed by a series of numbers. Generally,
the numbers will contain three digits (the first corresponding to the finger,
then the string, then the fret); in some cases parentheses will be used to
indicate more than one string (bar chord). Each separate set of digits
represents a finger. After the series of numbers will appear either a one digit
number, indicating the number of strings to strum, or the word ALL indicating
to strum all six strings.

This means: The number 1 before the brackets indicates the finger to be used.
The [2-3]
means hold down the first and second string. The 1 after the brackets means
the first fret.
So, you will use the first finger to bar the first and second strings on the
first fret. Your second finger to hold the second fret on the third string,
and your third finger to hold the third fret on the fourth string.
You will only strum the top four strings for this chord. This is only one
way to play an F chord, if you wanted a fuller sound, using all 6 strings,
you would take the E major shape, slide it up one fret, and use your first
finger to bar across all 6 strings on the first fret.

Subject: [Blind-Guitarist] New Member - Code list needed
Hello All,
My name is John and I've just joined this list today and < br>only got a guitar
on Monday. I Have a short list of about
seven chords and am practising them now but would like to
get a list of other chords for reference later.
Unfortunately, all the chord lists I've come across in
e-books and generally on the Net are given in visual terms,
such as pictures of guitars with strings with rings or
crosses on them or in some other form of indecipherable
code. Does anyone have a list of chords they can let me have
or know of where I can download some in terms of text
telling you which strings you hold down, on which frets and
with which finger?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
BFN,
John.
