What Are Chords?
A chord is any grouping of three or more notes. You can play them melodically, one note at a time, or harmonically, with all the notes sounding together, but theyre chords all the same. The notes you group together will change the sound of a chord, obviously, and will also change the name of the chord you are playing. There are hundreds of combinations, the most common method for learning these combinations is through chord diagrams, which are also referred to as chord charts.
-
Major Banjo Chords
Major chords are considered ‘happy’ sounding chords, and convey positive feelings through music. Major chords are always implied in the notation of music. If there is a single ‘E’ above music notation, that means an ‘E Major’ chord should be played in that spot. All other chord qualities have individual markings. Major chords are the easiest chords to learn. Knowing these will allow you to be able to play hundreds of songs.
-
Minor Banjo Chords
Minor chords are the counterpart to major chords and convey ‘sad’ emotions through music. Knowing your minor chords is the next step to mastering the guitar. They are represented with an ‘m’ after the chord name. Minor chords tend to sound ‘sad’ because of the lowering of the ‘third’ note in the related scale by one half-step. Below are the fingerings for open minor chords.
-
Dominant 7th Banjo Chords
These chords get their name from the seventh scale degree within the structure of the chord either as a major 7, dominant 7, or the less-used diminished 7. Major 7th chords sound ‘jazzy’ and have a smooth and pleasant sound to them. They are a great substitution to the block major chord fingering. Dominant 7th chords are featured a lot in rock n roll and blues music. Diminished 7th chords are a bit more advanced and typically only occur in classical and jazz music.
-
Diminished Banjo Chords
Below you will find fingerings to the basic diminished chords, often written as ‘dim’ or with a small circle ‘o’. These chords have a lot of tension in them because of the interval of a tri-tone built into the chord structure. These chords need to ‘go somewhere’ in a progression and resolve well to a major chord.
-
Augmented Banjo Chords
Augmented chords are very dissonant but can be used in very creative ways. Where the diminished chord pulls to a major chord, the augmented chord is a bit static and doesn’t have much weight pulling in any particular direction, major or minor. Augmented chords, designated with ‘aug’ or a ‘+’ symbol, are built on two major 3rd intervals stacked on top of each other. Another way to think of this would be to raise the 5th of any chord up a half-step and you’ll get an augmented chord.
