If the composer uses natural sequence chords (all notes remaining within the scale of the key) the 1, 4, and 5 chords will be major, while the 2, 3, and 6 chords will be minor. The 7 chord is based on a flat 7th rather than the actual 7th note of the scale. Eagle 1 9 22.
![]() Note 2: If the composer uses natural sequence chords (all notes remaining within the scale of the key) the 1, 4, and 5 chords will be major, while the 2, 3, and 6 chords will be minor. Note 3: The 7 chord is based on a flat 7th rather than the actual 7th note of the scale. Note 4: Composers aren't restricted to any particular structure, they can use any chord they like, anywhere they like so this chart won't work for every piece of music but it should be effective for most songs. If you encounter a song which gives you difficulties, for any reason, and would like help, send us a message (from our Contact page) and I'll be glad to help you out. Find the root key in the left column and proceed to your right, finding each of the chords in the piece and joting down their numbers (chords are shown by the number system, based on the key and the root key becomes 1). Now move to the key to which you wish to transpose and convert the numbers back to chords. Add modifications to the chord (such as minor, 7th, 9th, etc.) to match your source chords.

The tutorial is also available as a public document on my google drive as either a Libre Office ODT document or a PDF document. To use the capo chart, below, find the actual chord in the left column. The open chord pattern (which results in your chosen chord) is shown under fret number for capo placement. The letters 'n/a' (not applicable) are shown where there is no open chord equivalent for the chosen chord. Capo 1 is the first fret, Capo 2 is the second fret, etc. Capo 3 3 5 77
Every once in a while I get an email from someone who finds my capo chart totally confusing and asks something like 'If I put the capo on the 4th fret and play a G chord, what it it?'. For you folks I've provided the following chart. Find the open chord pattern on the left. The'C' in the pink box stands for 'Capo' and the number following it is the fret number, so 'C1' means the capo is on the first fret, 'C2' means the capo is on the second fret, and so on. In the box where the pattern intersects with the capo placement is the name of the chord you're thereby making. For example, the pattern for an open A chord, with the capo on the first fret (C1), becomes an A# (or Bb) chord. With the capo on the fourth fret (C4) the pattern for an open G chord becomes a B chord. In this chart I'm only referring to the small family of Open Chords. Specifically A, B7, C, D, E, F and G (Note: there is no open B chord, B7 is as close as you can get). In most cases modifiers can 'tag along', for example, an A minor chord pattern, with the capo on the second fret, is a B minor chord. The same would be true of the patterns for A7 or Amaj7 chord i.e. an A7 chord pattern, with the capo on the second fret, is a B7 chord and an Amaj7 chord pattern, with the capo on the second fret, would be a Bmaj7 chord. The following are the open chord patterns specifically referred to by this chart: Capo 3 3 5 7 Kjv
