C Shape Barre Chords

At the present time, I will not go into much detail here about the C shape barre chord. It is probably the 3rd most common barre chord shape. It takes the C chord below, rotates the fingers to free up the index finger, slides the whole shape up and applies the barre, as seen in the diagrams below:

Some people only “barre” the first three strings, since the 6th string is supposed to be muted. My preference is to barre all six strings and mute the 6th string. Barred in the first fret like this gives us the C# chord. Barred in the 3rd fret gives us the Eb chord, etc.
Technically, you can create barre chords from any normal shape chord, they just get more difficult from here.

Simple Bass Line Progressions A bass line progression is a progression where the bass note of a chord (“the lowest note played in a chord”) is changing and following a predetermined or predictable pattern. There are two generic types of bass line chord progressions: ascending (the bass line goes higher in pitch) and descending (the bass line goes lower in pitch). The bass line progressions can be pictured as going up or down a small set of stairs. Root Note is Usually the Bass Note One thing to understand first, is when any chord is being played, it’s bass note (or lowest note) is the root note of the chord (unless we are told otherwise). Thus the bass note of a G chord, a Gsus, a Gm7, a Gdim, etc. is a “G” note. If we need to change the bass note of a G major chord to a B, for example, we would write it kind of like a fraction: G/B. We often call these “slash” chords. The Dm7 chord with a C note in the bass would be written ‘Dm7/C’. An A7 with a C# note in the bass would be w

SO HOW TO FORM CHORDS FROM THE SCALES HOW TO CONVERT THEM,,HERE IS GUIDE ENJOY, Forming Chords From Scales Chords typically occur together in families. There are certain groups of chords that when used together, often sound good. The most common way of forming families of chords that sound good together is to form a set of chords from a scale. When you do this, you will have a number of chords that all belong to the same key. In this article, I’ll show you through how to form a family of chords from a scale. By understanding this, you will understand why certain chords work well together in a given key and be able to start to see these families of related chords being used in the music you learn. Lets start by forming triads (three note chords) from a major scale. To make things easy lets use C Major as our scale here. The notes of the C Major scale are as follows: C D E F G A B C Each of the notes of this scale can be used to build a chord on. In order to do this
