Chord Work Page
Add to Improv Page (Using m7b5 chords over dominant chords)
Bm7b5 along with G7 on strings 1 2 3 4 have been added to Chord Lesson 20
Triad Inversions
Major strings 1 2 3 - considering Chord Lesson 6 - D major
Minor strings 1 2 3 - considering Chord Lesson 7 - D minor
Major strings 2 3 4 - G is in Chord Lesson 9 , considering F in Chord Lesson 10
Minor strings 2 3 4 - Gm inversions are also in Chord Lesson 9
I might prefer to teach strings 2 3 4 first just so I could start with root instead of inversions. In the old lessons this was taught in Lesson 11
I should do 3 4 5 and 4 5 6 in later lessons (Diatonic Root Position Triads on Strings 3 4 5 are in the guitar/chords folder
It looks like there is also the diatonic triads in the key of C on strings 1 2 3 in the same folder.
Diatonic Triads Strings 1 2 3
What about the different inversions with the Diatonic Triads?
- Root - Considering Bb
- 1st Inversion - Considering F or G Major
- 2nd Inversion - DONE - D Major Chord Lesson 13
Diatonic Triads Strings 2 3 4
What about the different inversions with the Diatonic Triads?
- Root - DONE - F Major Chord Lesson 10
- 1st Inversion - Considering D
- 2nd Inversion - Considering A
Considering Bb Root Diatonic Triads on strings 1 2 3
So far I am only teaching Root F on strings 2 3 4 and 2nd Inversion D on strings 1 2 3
F Diatonic Triads on strings 2 3 4 were in Old Lesson 11
Considering putting the F diatonic triads in Chord Lesson 11 which would also be with the F inversions (mind you these are a review of the G inversions in Chord Lesson 10)
I would like to have the Gm inversions taught before the diatonic triads but not sure that is possible with the lessons and keys the way I have laid out currently. It would be a fairly major change if I were to make changes to that. Both scales and arpeggios are done.
Considering D Diatonic Triads on strings 1 2 3 in Chord Lesson 13
Both Diatonic Triads in the Key of C major on Strings 1 2 3 (2nd Inversion) and Strings 345 (Root) have been put on Chord Lesson 14 for now.
I am going to start collecting email on the chord page today (July 1, 2020) and I need to have a plan in place as to where I am sending people:
The open chords in the order they are taught: Em A C Am G D Dm E F

Minor triad inversions:
strings 1 2 3 (Dm) Chord Graph Page
Major triad inversions:
strings 2 3 4
Minor triad inversions:

Major vs Minor triads:
strings 1 2 3 (D major vs minor - Old)
Major vs Minor triads:
strings 2 3 4 (G major vs minor - Old)
Use Jam Tracks
For the inversions of triads lessons two good jam tracks to practice them would be:
- Dm to Am (85 bpm)
- Bm to E7 (Mr. Nothin)
Actually almost all the jam tracks can work. Where is Mr. Nothin Jam track?
Where are the lessons for the different triads?
- Am (strings 1,2,3)
- Dm (strings 1,2,3) Old lesson 11
- D (strings 1,2,3) Chord Graph Page
- Am (strings 2,3,4)
- Dm (strings 2,3,4)
- G (strings 2,3,4) Old site G major and G minor
Other Chord Lessons Needed
- Am7 strings 1 2 3 4
- A7 strings 1 2 3 4
- Gmaj7, Gm7, Gm7(b5), Gdim7 strings 1 2 3 4 (missing G7) The missing one was found and added to Chord Lesson 20
- Stretch Voicings - tripfuse - Letting Go (Old)
- Letting Go (New - but bad)
- Am7 strings 6 4 3 2
- How a min7(b5) can be played over dominant chord (ex. Em7(b5) over C7) strings 1 2 3 4
Diatonic Seventh Chords
- Key of C and F Major
- B Harmonic Minor or D Harmonic Minor or C Harmonic Minor
Another thought might be to organize these by level:
- Beginner (Lessons 1-8)
- Intermediate (Lessons 9-16)
- Advanced (Lessons 17-24)
If I were to do that, I would need to do it for every section, strumming, improv, fingerpicking, etc.
All the C chord forms in 3rd position and all the F chord forms in 1st position:
Old Chords You Should Know Page
C, Cm, Cm7, C7, Cdim7, Cm7b5, Cmaj7
F, Fm, Fm7, F7, Fdim7, Fm7b5, Fmaj7
Gm7b5, Gdim7
If I do decide to name the main menu the "7 Daily Practice Areas" then I will need to be consistent throughout.
And get rid of the links in this menu that don't belong.
