Since I can't view the videos - see post "Still can't view videos", I was wondering if someone can help me with the finger placement for the following chord:

E:-2---
B:-3---
G:-4---
D:-4---
A:-2---
E:------

I am having trouble getting it. Any help would be great. Thanks!

It's the same as playing a power chord but just dropped all fingers down a step.. Bar with the index finger, middle finger plays 3 and ring and pinky play four..Hope that helps..

EEk!!! Be careful how you say things. He is not dropping his fingers down a step. He is changing the barre chord from having the base note on the low E string to having it on the A string.

Dropping something a step means lowering the pitch by 2 frets or a whole tone (Ex.: Lowering an F one whole step would mean you play an E).

Having that said and out of the way, the finger positions you were told were correct, lol. I was making sure you keep your terminology straight.

peace

It's all good...just be careful. A lot of ppl come here for help, and then they become confused...I have a tendency to confuse/annoy ppl here myself.

incorrect!

dropping a whole step from an F would make it an Eb or D#.

Order of notes:

A A#/Bb B C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G#/Ab

the notes that have a / can be called either one.

Ha!!! You are rite...I was thinking about using a C first, but then I decided to use F...what a dumbass am I!!!? I should stuck with something like G...I receive partial credit for the fact that it was just my example was bad. The definition was correct tho.

We have a winner!!!!

Is there anything else you would like to add to these findings?

Pickles · Unread post by **Pickles** » Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:42 pm

the B minor takes the 1st, b3rd (1/2 step below the 3rd), and 5th interval of the Bmaj scale (which would be B, D, and F# respectively).

so, the notes on that chord are:
F#
D
B
F#
B
