Subject: Oops, Sorry About That

Hey Friend,

As far as F# Minor positions go, there are eleven basic triads found within the first twelve frets. You'll see these in the exercise files.


I do want to point out an error I made yesterday. I explained the "easiest" F#m triad, but in fact, what I explained was an F# major chord. 

To make that chord a minor, you must lower the 3 note by a half step to the flatted third. So instead of your middle finger on the third string, third fret, barre the second and third strings with your index finger. This will produce the desired minor triad.

Doh!

Sometimes my brain is like a train - it latches on to a track and there's no stopping it as it barrels along. My apologies...

You will see in the exercises that the shape I explained yesterday WILL work as a minor triad when used on the first, second and third strings (e B G).

That is one of the great movable shapes - want another minor chord? Just slide the shape up or down the neck! In the case of F#m, moving the shape to the ninth fret with your index finger on the first string does give you the correct chord.

Anyway, I think you'll find plenty of options in the exercises to help you choose the right F#m chord when you need one.

And as always, the F#5 power chord is always available. When you're playing a rocker, your guitar is likely overdriven, so power chords will sound awesome. 

Gotta roll, folks... Ya'll have a good day!

Peace~
