#76: 5 Easy Tricks To Spice Up Boring Chords
Added 2020-04-10 13:00:02 +0000 UTCToday we check out another topic from the lesson wishlist - we work on some more interesting and suspenseful minor chords! I thought it would be a great idea to take the basic E minor voicing we probably all know as a reference and then see what we can do with that :)
I made a sheet for today's lesson, there you can see each voicing a bit better! Make sure to also learn which notes you are playing here so you don't run into problems (the chords featuring the major sixth for example - that can be quite dangerous).
Have a great weekend!

Amazing chords.

Yes, you can move these chords all over the neck :) The root is E (7th fret of the A string) for all voicings in the video, so if you move them up one fret/semitone you get an F minor voicing and so on! It's a great idea to practice them in a lot of different positions on the neck.

2020-04-11 04:52:03 +0000 UTCCool lesson. The E9 chord is used a lot in blues. Looks like I need to just drop the major 3rd to a minor 3rd to get the Em9 chord?
