how do you hit a C#m on the guitar what are the fret positions ?

Hey i need help ...... how do you hit a C#m on the guitar... what are the fret positions??? can somebody help me im trying to play the track by DR Zeus Kangna ( Acoustice Version) thanks.... :think:

 

Here's how I play it, it can also be played in the barre form, with a barre on the 4th fret( I think):
E|---4----|
B|---5----|
G|---6----|
D|---6----|
A|--------|
E|--------|

 

Thanksss dude!!! :beer:

 

That is perfect. barre form is better.

 

yeah when barred.the position would be:-
e-4-----
B-4-5---
G-4---6-
D-4---6-
A-4-----
E-4-----

 

Why only C#m???

As this thread was talking C#m, I thought, why let it stop there...lets tell something about all minors....

Hehe, a nice technique is this...for benineers only...

You know the Major chord position as:
(x)
(x)
(x)-(x+1)
(x)-(x+2)
(x)-(x+2)
(x)
You will get a Minor chord of the same scale at this(lifing the x+1 note)
(x)
(x)
(x)
(x)-(x+2)
(x)-(x+2)
(x)

So if you play F-maj:
1
1
1-2
1-3
1-3
1
You get F-min at:
1
1
1
1-3
1-3
1

and the other(althought there are several more)

You know the Major chord position as:
(x)
(x)-(x+3)
(x)-(x+3)
(x)-(x+3)
(x)
(x)
You will get a Minor chord of the same scale at this(lifing the x+1 note)
(x)
(x)-(x+1)
(x)-(x+2)
(x)-(x+2)
(x)
(x)

So if you play D-maj:

5
5-7
5-7
5-7
5
5
You get D-min at:
5
5-6
5-7
5-7
5
5


Might help!!!

using barre is always beneficial ... it sounds way better and it actually helps when switching from A-shape to E-shape barres....

 

Try this

E- 9
B- 9
G- 9
D- 11
A- x
E- x


E- 0
B- 2
G- 1
D- 2
A- 4
E- x


E- x
B- x
G- 13
D- 12
A- 11
E- 9

 

talking about the barre chords , how do I position ex: a D ?? Do I just barre the 5th fret and use only ring finger to hold the required 3 notes on the 7th fret ?

OR

Do I just barre the 5th fret and use my middle , ring and pinky fingers to hold the 3 notes on the 7th fret ?

btw Gogol , thanks for that barre info .. Really cleared certain of ma doubts

Cheerz!

 

Both ways are fine but the first way is preferrable.

 

Nice to know that it helped!:

About your D query. I guess(because I do that) trying to press the 3 strings with the ring finger is prefferable. But it seems a bit tough at first. However, the 3 finger way has its advantages i.e., you can slide the pinky finger to get added notes in the chord. :beer:
