Use the guitar fretboard diagrams below to play major chords.
Major chords are bright, ‘happy’ sounding chords. The major chord symbol only shows the root note of the chord, without any additional letters or symbols.
Other ways of playing major chords can be found on the following pages:
The following guitar chord diagrams represent minor chords. The symbol for a minor chord is the root note followed by a lower case ‘m’.
Minor chords sound ‘sad’, and are the second most common type of chord after major chords. Only one note differentiates minor chords from major chords: the ‘third’, which is a semitone lower in minor chords.
Alternative ways of playing minor chords can be found on the following pages:
Dominant seventh chords have an ‘expectant’ sound. They often resolve into major chords with a root a perfect 5th lower than that of the 7th chord.
Minor 7th chords have a ‘weaker’, ‘less solid’ sound than major, minor and dominant 7th chords. They are often used before dominant 7th chords to set up ‘cadences’, which provide satisfying endings to musical phrases.
