I've recently dived into the world of chords.
I found this chart ( http://g.sheetmusicplus.com/Look-Ins...2868915_01.jpg) but it's extremely limited.
Also, I'm noticing that when I switch between certain chords such as 7 chords and their corresponding 2nd inversion major chords, I have a hard time keeping my pinky from curling up.
Can anyone reccommend me a free chord chart and/or chordal exercises particularly aimed at improving strength?
Much apreciated!

For example, play up the c major scale in triads:
CEG DFA EGB FAC GBD ACE BFA
aka Cmaj Dmin Emin Fmaj Gmaj Amin Bdim
aka I ii iii IV vi vii(dim).
also try the same chords around the circle of fifths ( vii VI vi ii V I )
that way you get a better feel for how the chords relate to each other, and how they might actually show up in songs. |

| | | | I'll give you the best advice I've ever received on learning chords:
Forget chord charts, diagrams, and tablature. Period.

| | | Check out this link its based on the idea that chord construction has a formula and can be removed from scales therefore making it simple to learn as you are constructing chords from scratch, rather than just learning shapes. www.soundfeelings.com/free/chords.htm
It's ideal for players and young children who don't want to much confusing info that is theory based and gets them to chords, which will led to harmony, etc at there own pace.
enjoy |
