F Barre Chord Thing

[gcom007]

Based on my just recently attained knowledge ( thanks to gcom, gravedig and hansi ) on chord structures I have to argue that the chord gcom loves so much

9 X 11 10 9 X

is a C# , because the it has C# X C# F G# X and the C# major triad is ( C# F G# )

and

9 x 11 9 0 0

is a seventh chord C#m7 because it has the notes C# X C# E B E in it? am i correct? C#m7 ( minor major minor ) is ( C# E G# B )

anohter version of C#m is ( although a not very practical ) is;

0 - 4 - 2 - 1 - 5 - 0

( E C# E G# E E )

alright..

cheers

heh. this thery shit is quite cool!

umm, I don't get your argument on the first thing, you asked for a C# major, and this is a C# major...

the second chord is just a chord I think sounds real good when you need a C#m...I think it'd only work on the guitar really due to the open nature of it...but also...X4245X is a C#m7 I believe...

heheh well at least we agree, except for my reading not being a hundred percent all the time:)

you're right, that is a C# major chord, but the one he said he loved so much is the C#m7 chord: 9-X-11-9-0-0

and the C#m chord that you mentioned: X-4-2-1-5-X is close to the first chord in Captain : X-4-2-1-4-X which is C#m(add9) cause the 4 on the b string is the 9th scale degree of the C# scale (D#) its' a very cool sounding chord. a more practical way of playing the C#m chord is the #41 way: 9-7-6-9-x-x or the traditional way: x-4-6-6-5-x

I'm confused as heck, I thought he asked for a C# major...can I just not read?

he did. I think

he did. I think :?

yeah he did ask for a c#, but I got so excited about using my little theory in practice that I thought he asked for a C#m. Anyway the reason I did post it was because you posted the chord you love ( :) ) and that it sounded as though you meant that that was a c# major aswell, which it is not, and that's why I posted the reply..

Anyway it's a good thing that I finally know how to construct some chords.. But what is the correct way to stack the notes on top eachother?, in guitar terms that is .. can you just play with it like you want and find which ever combination of the triad makes the best sound, or is there a one correct way?

you said it, man. what ever floats your boat. there are subtle differences that can really make some chord formations better than others. take #41 for example, the standard Em chord 0-2-2-0-0-0 does not sound as good as the one Dave uses : 0-7-5-4-8-x-x. neither does the Am and Bm chords - Traditional: x-0-2-2-1-0 , x-2-4-4-3-2 don't take the place of Daves, Am and Bm 5-3-2-5-x-x, 7-5-4-7-x-x. the same notes are being played but just in different orders:

x-0-2-2-1-0 uses scale degrees: x-1-5-1-3-5
5-3-2-5-x-x uses scale degrees: 1-3-5-3-x-x (its all in the minor 3rd)

0-2-2-0-0-0 uses scale degrees: 1-5-1-3-5-1
(0)-7-5-4-5-x uses scale degrees: (1)-1-3-5-3-x see the difference?

is this America?

[gcom007]

oh wait, we've got Canadians here too...

well anyways, it's a free country, have fun!

[lpittman]

0-2-2-0-0-0 uses scale degrees: 1-5-1-3-5-1
(0)-7-5-4-5-x uses scale degrees: (1)-1-3-5-3-x see the difference?

Makes sense. But why do you include the low E (0) and not the high E x? In other words, why would you include the low E as an option () but not the high E ?

[gravedigger]

0-2-2-0-0-0 uses scale degrees: 1-5-1-3-5-1
(0)-7-5-4-5-x uses scale degrees: (1)-1-3-5-3-x see the difference?

good question. I guess it doesn't really matter if you play em or not. I guess since the high e note is the same note as the 5 on the b string so its unnecessary, while the low E is sometimes nice when playing solo or whatever. its personal preference I guess.
