Talk:Guitar/Movable Chords

Changing chord diagrams
Hello. I'm changing the chord diagrams. If you object please revert to previous diagrams. I'm going to remove the editorial comment about the Hendrix chord. Shouldn't it be left on this talk page or on the users talk page. I've added the scale manual and the technical exercises.

"EDIT: THE CHORD NAME ABOVE IS INCORRECT. It is simply a 7/#9 chord. It has a major third in it, so is NOT a minor chord. The #9 is the same note (sonically) as the minor third, so if it were a minor chord, you could not have a #9. If the author is trying to say that it is a flatted 7th (as opposed to a natural 7th) in the chord spelling, then he should write "Dominant 7/#9". Writing "Minor 7th" means it's a minor chord w/ a dominant 7th."

The above is the comment I'm removing. I'm correcting the chord symbol.

Here is the second comment I'm removing. Like the other comment it is correct. I'm changing the chord symbol.

EDIT: ALSO INCORRECT! If it is a 7th chord, you do NOT write "add 9". Just write: B7/9 or B7/9/13. Use "add 9" if you intend the player to play a triad, with no 7th, but adding the 9th on top, i.e. "B add 9". Again, as above, this is not a "minor 7th" chord, but a "dominant 7th" chord.
