It is the B note that we change to change the name of the chord.
A G minor chord is formed from flattening (lowering) the 3rd note of B by one fret so it now becomes Bb.A Gsus2 is formed by replacing the 3rd note of B with the 2nd note from the scale which is A.A Gsus4 is formed by replacing the 3rd note of B with the 4th note which is C.Notice that when the note on the 2nd string is played at the lowest fret marked on the diagram, the chord becomes a sus2, a fret higher it becomes minor, a further fret higher it becomes Major, and a further fret higher it becomes sus4. Make sure you are clear on this as it’s a really important concept to be able to grasp. If you recall, our first shape looks like the following. You may not have seen a chord chart laid out like this before. What I have done for clarity is shown all 4 chord shapes laid out on one chord chart. If you are unsure or want to see the individual diagrams take a quick look over part 1 of this series.Īs you can see, the root note on the 3rd string doesn’t move, neither does the note on the 1st string. If you are happy with shape 1, we will apply the exact same principle and learn our 2nd shape. This is all based on the shape of a regular open A chord.Īs you can see in shape 2, just like shape 1, two of the notes don’t move. The root note (red) and the 5th note (black) are static, and the notes on the other string (string 3 this time) move up and down a fret to define whether our chord is Major, minor, Sus2 or Sus4. Just by moving that blue note we have 4 different chords. This is all based on the shape of a regular open E chord. Get comfortable with shape 2 before moving on to shape 3…. The notes that don’t move are the root note and the note on the 3rd string. In this instance it’s the note on string 1 that makes all the difference in terms of defining whether or not the chord is Major, minor, Sus2 or Sus4. This is all based on the shape of a regular open D chord.
