Speed and dexterity are much easier after your brain and fingers know what they’re doing.ĭon’t feel bad, because it takes an age for your fingertips to shape the chords and find the right frets.

You have to teach your fingers exactly what to do and where to go, before even thinking about speeding things up and guess what? Faster playing will come naturally. The best way to learn guitar chords is slowly - very slowly at first. So you feel compelled to practice your own playing fast, because that’s what everyone else seems to be doing. Let’s not even mention shredding (damn, I mentioned it). Some of these guys you see playing on stage and in videos are playing fast - really fast.

Start by Learning Guitar Chords Slowly (and Correctly) This gives us the notes F#, which is the F# diminished triad, therefore the seventh chord in the key of G is F# diminished.Īnd that's about it, you should now know the intricacies of chords in the key of G. Have a look at guitar chords in other keys as well. Ohoh, now we need to flatten the 3 rd AND the 5 th, since neither the A# or the C# are on the G major scale. This gives us the notes E, G and B, which is the E minor triad, therefore the sixth chord in the key of G is E minor. We have to lower the 3 rd to the flattened 3 rd. We get the notes D F# and A, which is the D major triad, therefore the fifth chord in the key of G is D major.Īgain, we need to modify our 3 rd note, which would be a G#, since that note is not in the key of G. We get the notes C, E and G, which is the C major triad, therefore the fourth chord in the key of G is C major.Īgain, the 1 st, 3 rd and 5 th of the D major scale are in the key of G, so we don’t need to modify any of the notes. This time we’re in luck, the 1 st, 3 rd and 5 th of the C major scale are in the key of G, so we don’t need to modify any of the notes. This gives us the notes B, D and F#, which is the B minor triad, therefore the third chord in the key of G is B minor. So our 3 rd note would be a D#, but we can’t have that, since that note is not in the key of G. All of these notes are on the G major scale as well, therefore the second chord in the key of G is A minor. This gives us the notes A, C and E, which is the A minor triad. So our 3 rd note for would be a C#, but we can’t have that, since that note is not in the key of G major (not on the G major scale). This gives us the notes G, B and D, which is the G major triad, therefore the first chord in the key of G is G major. Now let’s calculate the quality of each chord in the key of G. Diminished triads (diminished chords) with scale degrees 1 b3 b5.
