relative minor and fingering open chords

 

22 oct 2021    

two discoveries: relative minor placement and fingering open chords

Relative minor triad from major Triad:

 Dropping the 2 finger (down 3, left 1) from triad position major to make the minor root is easily done in 9 chords:

Am - CM, Dm- FM, Gm- BbM,

Fm - AbM, Bbm - DbM,

Dbm - EM, Gbm-AM,Bm-DM,

not easy for Cm, Emin Abm - as these have to be played in center position, but center is easy-ish, right?

Playing a an open triad with root on bottom is reachable

Closed

Ctriad : C1-E3-G5 : 4-2-3 for example is closed 

C1-E3-G5-Bb7 : 5-4-3-2-1 for example is closed dom-7th

C1-E3-G5-B7 : 5-4-3-2-1 for example is closed maj-7th

How to do this open? 

Open chords fingering - third is on top (1st inversion)

C1- G5-E10 - 5-3-2 or 4-3-2

C1-G5-Bb7-E10 - 5-4-2-3 (it is reachable) 

Less reachable Open chords fingering - 5th is on top (root)
