COMMENTS ON MOVEABLE CHORDS

An approach I’ve found pretty useful when trying to learn moveable chords is first to learn every note on the first 2
strings. Then I memorize one form for the 6th string Major chords. I play it up the string naming each chord as I go

along. Then I do it over again with the 2nd chord formation if there is one.

After I finish the 6th string I then move on to the 5th string and do the same thing. Then the fourth.

After the major chord forms are pretty well memorized go on to the minor chord forms: 6th string 1st, 5th string then 4th string.

Then move to the 7 chords. All the while note the difference in their sounds and characteristics. After the 7 chords try the diminished then the augmented.

Once you get all of these chord forms try to play around and figure out more difficult chords or more complicated
