Hey Friend,
Let’s see what’s in the bag of tricks for today…
Oh yes, looks like we’re up to the C# Minor chord, the Vm chord in the F# minor harmonic progression.
I II° III IVm Vm VI VII
F#m G#° A Bm C#m D E
C# minor is built using the C#, E and G# notes (the 1 3 5 notes) from the C# minor scale:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8)
C# D# E F# G# A B (C#)
Not to beat a dead horse, but these same three notes are also part of the F# minor scale, so the C# minor chord fits perfectly into the harmonic progression.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8)
F# G# A B C# D E (F#)
The exercises should be straightforward. Use the intro exercises to familiarize yourself with the chord, then the positions to learn where on the neck you can play the C#m shapes.Then try out the barre chords (or at least the power chords).
I have to admit I’m running on low batteries today. The weekend’s work took its toll (we refinished a bath tub and installed 1.5 bathroom vanities), and last night’s sleep did not refresh me. I could use another 40 winks!
Hopefully as the day goes on, I’ll shake the grogginess off and get myself together. It is Monday, though... ;-)
Peace~
Dave
