identify forms beyond the open position. So here's the lesson. I

see alot of guitar players who play only in the open position.

There's nothing wrong with that, but there is another world of

creativity down the neck of the guitar. You have to have a way

of navigating the entire neck also, and using these open chord

forms is the root of it. You'll have to use "barre" chords

also.

Root 6th chords are formed from the open E-major form.

This chord is simple to remember and easy to finger. The name is derived from the bass note of the 6th string.

The low E string and the high E string are both played in th

open position.

The chord is further formed by the middle finger being

placed on the 3rd string at the first fret and the ring finger

placed on the 5th string at the second fret.

And finally the pinky is placed on the 4th string at the

second fret. See the form below.

Now practice the form up and down the neck of the

instrument. Always keeping in-mind the bass notes of the string

that names the chord.

As you acquaint yourself with this form, it will prepare you

for other forms that it will be combined with, to produce music.

There's a certain amount of versatility through moving from

the open position.

Chords can be formed in several locations if fingering is

difficult in other forms. Guitar root 5 chords
