This lesson will be in 3 parts. By the end of this series of
lessons you will have a basic understanding of how all 3 note
chords are constructed. You will know how to spell them, and how
to apply that knowledge to the neck of the guitar. This will include
major, minor, augmented, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. All
of these chords contain only 3 different notes names. While you
may strum 6 strings on basic G major chord, there is still only
the notes G B and D. You just happen to have 3 Gs, 2 Bs and 1
D. It is often the case that one or more notes in a chord are
doubled or tripled.

If you have gone through the basic
chord construction lesson, you have a general idea of how
chords are build. In this lesson we are going to expand that knowledge
and take a look at how you can spell and build any type of chord
3 note chord. There is a lot of information covered in this lesson,
and for most people it is going to take some study and practice
before you are going to fully understand the concepts. Read the
entire lesson all of the way through first. Then go back and start
working on the concepts piece by piece. How to build chords that
contain 4 or more different notes will be covered in another lesson.
