Chords

[coyoteguy]

I am trying to play this one song with the D minor chord followed by these cords:
1 1 1 5
3 3 3 3
2 3 4 5
0 0 0 0

They are in the same position or strings as the Dm chord, e-b-g-d. I want to know if you can play these chords in a different play on the guitar and still get the same sound. Like playing the normal A chord and then playing the 577 chord and getting the same sound. What other chords are similar to these? Hope I explain myself. Thanks for you help!

You can play those chords in a lot of places in the fretboard...

Just check the different notes of each one of them, and reproduce them in other places in the fretboard.

Not sure if this was helpful...

Yea I tried that but came up with something even more complicated.

Like sfmartins said, you can play the same chord many different ways all over the fretboard. All you have to do is figure out what notes the chord consists of. Like a Dm chord, consists of the notes D, F and A. If you know the different notes along the fretboard you can figure out the different positions of that chord. The chord only has to have the notes D, F and A for it to be a Dm chord. Is that what you're talking about?

And here's a link to a great site w/some fretboard diagrams that covers this, and shows the different ways to play one chord:

I don't think it'll get much simpler than that that you have up there...

i'd ditch that third chord, it sounds like pure ass, and i'm assuming that you mean the first/top number to mean the high e string since you referenced a Dm chord, anyway.....

Chord 1
e -----5-------------------
B -----6-------------------
G -----7-------------------
D -----7-------------------
A -----5-------------------
E -----5-------------------

Chord 2

e -----x-------------------
B -----6-------------------
G -----7-------------------
D -----8-------------------
A -----x-------------------
E -----x-------------------

Chord 4

e -----x-------------------
B ----10-------------------
G -----7-------------------
D ----10-------------------
A -----x--------------------
E ----10--------------------

but i agree with the other guys, the way you typed is probably the easiest

anyway, hope that helps
