question about some chords

[fr0me0]

can you tell me what it means when a chord has a - or a + after it? It says nothing else just G- or G+ etc can you tell me what this means?

 

[BenWC87]

A - is often used to mean minor, and + is augmented.

 

[fr0me0]

a thanks for the tip man, do you know what a triangle means?

 

[jbl71004]

You probably mean delta, which just means major as far as I know. You'll also sometimes see this symbol next to a minor chord, which means a minor chord with a major 7.

 

[HARD HAT]

I've always been told that a triangle after the chord stands for Major 7th.

 

[fr0me0]

It has a bunch of chords that having nothing. Which I'd assume are majors's. I know whatr 7's are. And Now I know that the -'s are minor. but this delta really gets me. Its not infront of a minor chord. But it is infront of a Bb chord and almost all the rest of the Bb chords are 7's so do you think its just giving me a little extra reminder that its not a 7 this time its a major?

yeah that makes a ton of sense man thanks.

what about a degree sign?

 

[jbl71004]

That would be diminished. Degree with a line through it=half diminished.
