Guitar Major Chord Scales

Select a video above or type in the name or subject or your search.<\span> Guitar Major chord scales used to learn where to place different types of chords in song progressions which also aids in fretboard navigation.

This is handy in changing songs into different keys instantly.

The first Chord Scale we will use is the Root 6 to Root 5 position chords. I you need to review on root 6 and Root 5 chords, click them, also E open form and the A open form, before moving on for clarity.

For demonstration purposes we will devide the chord scale into two four chord halves.

Thats C Maj, Dm, Em, F Maj. The second half of the chord scale is, G Maj, Am, Bdim, CMaj.

In the key of C Maj we will form a chord scale. We start at C Maj chord using the E open form at the 8th fret.

This chord is barred with the index at the 8th fret, with the middle finger on the 3rd string at the 9th fret. The ring finger and pinky are placed on the 5th and 4th strings at the 19th fret.

Then move the barre to the 10 fret keeping the fingers in the same orientation but raising the middle away from the 3rd string. This forms a D minor chord.

Then slide the same form down to the 12th fret, and then we have a E minor chord. Finally we finger the orignal finger pattern at the 14th fret to form a F Maj chord.

The second half starts with an open A Maj form at the 10th fret, this produces a G Maj chord. Using the root 5 Open A fingering we move down to the 12th fret and form a Am chord as shown below.

Next move to the 14th fret and form a Bdim chord. Then we finish with a C Maj chord form at the 15th fret.

Thats your chord scale, It is very useful in moving along the fretboard and not be confined to playing first position chords. http://wimmut623.videoww.hop.clickbank.net?itm=vww2 Guitar Major Chord Scales
