While you're in that chord form, you might want to alternate the 5th and 6th strings. The notes are within the chord and will add some color. But avoid playing them open. There is no E note in a D7 chord.

Any chord name can easily be figured out by you. If the pattern is XX on the first three frets (the common simple form position) then just count it up the neck. Each fret is 1/2 tone (C-C#-D-D#/Eb etc.) So a three finger G on the first three frets becomes A on the 5th with the same fingering. However, as was mentioned, the non-fingered strings (in most cases) cannot be played with the open patterns. Note, I said in most cases. As in anything there are exceptions. In the case of the C7 mentioned, with the 2nd string fingered at the third fret you have moved 2 frets (one full tone) and into the D (D7) chord position. As you say you are "a man who plays guitar"... Forgive me if you know this already. But the notes (and chords made on them) follow this pattern C--D--E-F--G--A--B-C. This is true if you start on any note to construct a scale. Each - is one fret which is one half tone. So from C to D is two half tones or one full tone. So any scale is 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 steps. The full notes (by name) from C to C are C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G G#/Ab A A#/Bb B C There is only a half step between B and C and E and F. Always. If you notice there is no #/b between these BC EF. The #/b notes are the same sound but different names depending on the key of the tune, or the tune itself as it is sung or written on a manuscript.. So you can just move the chord X frets and get the new name by counting the frets and then, using the C scale as a base, write the note name (A for an A Chord) under the C D E F G A B C pattern and add the sharps # and flats b as needed to change the pattern to match (2-1/2 3-1/2). C--D--E-F--G--A--B-C A--B--C#-D--E--F#--G#- A So a A chord moved 4 frets is C# and so on. One fret = A#/Bb. Two frets = B. Three frets = C. Four frets = C#/Db. And so on.

But if you let that E on the 1st string sound, that D7 chord becomes a D9 (or D7-9 to some), which adds a nice blues/jazz sound to what you're doing.

Hi M this has got to be a real favorite of mine I use it a lot. When playing any GDC it invariably sounds good. Try running down from the D by holding the shape and playing C# at the second fret before playing the C and resolving on G. Try playing a G 320033 then move only 2 fingers to play a C at X32033 move the same 2 fingers down a string again to play Dsus at XX3233 and resolve on the C or play the D at XX3232 and resolve at G These are all 5ths and 9ths I think. These chords give colour to the standard open chords and are used a lot in modern pop folk and ballads. By the way I hardly ever play open G 320003 as I usually play 3X0003 with just my 3rd and 4th finger ( damping the A string with my 3rd on fret3. Why? This allows fingers 1 and 2 to roam all over the notes in GCand D whilst maintaining the G chord. Try This it should sound instantly familliar play 3X0003 put down fingers 1and 2 to play 3X2013 thats a C over G and lift fingers 1 and 2 to go back to the G now strum it alternatly 4/4 gcgc/gcgc/gcgc/gcgc Have FUN you can slide that 3X2013 up 2 frets for D over A but it can sound a bit odd out of context. Last one that D7 or 9th shape that you started with slide it up another 2 frets for a classic pop E9th think Beatles Elvis and the opening chord for Keep on running. I hope this wasn't all old hat to you M, but if it was maybe there's someone out there who's hit a wall and these ideas might help them over. Hear you soon MARK
