Here we have it on the 5th, 6th and 7th frets of the guitar fretboard. Start with your ring finger on the 7th fret of the D string, Then just drop back 1 fret and down one string and again back one fret and down one string to achieve all the notes. Now you have an A major chord in your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slide it Up &#8211; to Get Any Major Chord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of shapes is that you can move them around on the guitar neck. I you slide this diagonal line up 2 frets you get a B major chord. so this would be a diagonal line between the 7th and 9th frets, using the D, G and B strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2071j-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2071j-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2071j-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2071j-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2071j-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2071j-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2071j-425x319.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Volley Ball Shape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I call this the volleyball shape. The red dot looks like a volleyball flying thru the air. The blue and yellow dots could be a side view of the net. You can use your own imagination to name these shapes. Or forget about the shapes altogether and just remember where to put your fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shape gives us a C#m chord when played using the 11th and 9th frets. This shape can also be moved up and down the fretboard to get any minor chord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Simple Way to Learn Guitar Using Shapes No complicated music theory, just learn 2 shapes on the guitar, move [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fun-with-3-strings","category-guitar-lessons"],"rise-blocks_total_comments":0,"rise-blocks_categories":[{"term_id":11,"name":"Fun with 3 Strings","slug":"fun-with-3-strings","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":11,"taxonomy":"category","description":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/cfun-with-3-strings-pdf-cours\/\">Get the PDF Guitar Course that will help you play anywhere up and down the guitar neck. chords, scales, riffs, modes, fun!<\/a>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","parent":0,"count":24,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":11,"category_count":24,"category_description":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/cfun-with-3-strings-pdf-cours\/\">Get the PDF Guitar Course that will help you play anywhere up and down the guitar neck. chords, scales, riffs, modes, fun!<\/a>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","cat_name":"Fun with 3 Strings","category_nicename":"fun-with-3-strings","category_parent":0},{"term_id":12,"name":"Guitar Lessons","slug":"guitar-lessons","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":12,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":18,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":12,"category_count":18,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Guitar Lessons","category_nicename":"guitar-lessons","category_parent":0}],"rise-blocks_excerpt":"Super Simple Way to Learn Guitar Using Shapes No complicated music theory, just learn 2 shapes on the guitar, move them around the fretboard and you are jammin!
