    there are many types of chords bhai..
    for example like E7,6,sus2,sus4,dim,aug,#s,add9 etc. Download Gp5 i suggest..i have a free version pm me if u want it.

    And yes..Bb is A# and also Db is C# :)

    Major chords are formed from major scales 1 3 5..for eg C d E f G a b c.

    Minor chords are formed from major as well as minor scales..1 3b 5 for major and 1 3 5 from Minor.

    From Major C d Eb f G a b c. (C Major Scale)

    From Minor A b C d E f g a. (Am Scale)

    Hope it helps.

    ok a shortcut for u:-
    e-1------
    b-1--3----
    g-1--3---- This is A# that is Bb
    d-1--3---
    a-1-----
    e-1-----

    now from this position everytime u move one fret up..the chord would become half step higher.. like if u move to the right i.e, barre the 2nd fret..with ur fingers in same position..it would become "B" that is:-

    e-2-----
    b-2--4---
    g-2--4---
    d-2--4---
    a-2-----
    e-2-----

    Note-
    Ab=G#
    Bb=A#
    Db=C#
    Eb=D#
    Gb=F#
    this is for u to cram for time being..but it would be better if u brush ur chord theory properly..search Igt or cyber fret

    i know they r more than 6 kinds but i'd given here 6 kinds..... "Music is not just art, but a skill as well. There are many talented musicians, but only a few skilled ones."......hw u describe ur music as talented or skilled...wat skilled r ?

    Ok i'll correct the mistake b4 the dude gets confused..if u get wrong things in ure mind its hard to unlearn it.

    The fingering is in the bracket. The 2nd bracket shows the changes i made to vini's pattern.

    A#/Bb

    e-1------ (Removed the finger on 3rd fret)
    b-1--3(4)---
    g-1--3(3)---
    d-1--3(2)-- (Added a finger hold at 3rd fret)
    a-1-----
    e-1-----

    B Barre Chord (Same fingering as Bb)

    e-2------ F#
    b-2--4--- D#
    g-2--4--- B
    d-2--4-- F#
    a-2----- B
    e-X----- (Ure not sposed to play this string..but i recommend barring all strings though) This is because this is a NON INVERTED B Chord. The Root Note Should Be 'B'.

    Google for chord theory for guitar or search igt man.

    Hope this helps.

    yes again wrong chart from vini. I also found another wrong pattern in another thread by same member. Copying what i wrote there below

    To learn chords, beginners better refer to std documents or charts than member postings here. Typos and wrong charts teach u wrong things and u may not realize it too. Can waste ur time and unnecessarily strain ur fingers

    https://www.guitarnotes.com/guitar/notes2/ultimate.pdf is an excellent source. Print it out. Use fingers u r comfortable with. Learn them as finger patterns than learn one by one


    Great progress I think. rgds


    @arnold good work dude

    i had put link to a chord chart file. Here's one with suggested FINGER positions as well. https://www.webslapper.com/chords.pdf Print it out. Actually I thought I had linked to this file in the earlier post. It is more informative that that. The other is good too

    I cannot understand what u r trying to say. maybe someone can answer or u may explain in detail with fret numbers and exact string names
    just naming conventions in western scales i think. I have asked questions like why only 12 notes or 7 (sapta) swaras :-|. I think they go with different musical scale systems. something like digitizing continuous frequencies. Great Guitarist Kirk Lorange says only one music in universe, but systems differ. I agree with him. I think it is like religions, different approach, same goal, well just my thoughts
    it isn't ur last qn. If u r asking theory, somebody will explain. I can play chords like E7. For e.g., To form E7 from open chord E, I just free string D or press little finger on 3rd fret B string
    i donno
    I was thinking u were progressing fast. I have no access to class so i donno how they teach. Why don't u clear doubts in class??
    OK 2 good pdfs are there. Right click on link and choose 'save as'.
    Good. i donno how many girls here. If u haven't already done, to get inspired as a girl, watch Terra Naomi on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/profile?user=terranaomi) (web https://www.terranaomi.com) I especially like her "Say It's Possible" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARHyRI9_NB4) Matchless!! There is one exceptionally good singer, player, composer, lyricist girl here too - Fatima.
