piano city

ok i look at guitar as several sets of pianos

e-------------------------
b-------------------------
g-------------------------
d---2----2------2-----1---
a---3----3------4-----3---
e---3----4------3-----3---

====c==c-aug==c# dim==cminor

ok this next one is with the root of an E, but im going to use F since its not butted against the neck. remember all of these chords slide down the bar.

e-------------------------
b-------------------------
g---2---2-----2-----1-----
d---3---3-----4-----3------
a---3---4-----3-----3-----
e-------------------------

===f==f-aug==f#dim=fminor

this is the root of a G, or a sliding A how ever you look at this note, note you only need to play the 3 strings to produce these chords in this set of "pianos"

e--------------------------
b---2----2-----2-----1-----
g---2----2-----3-----2-----
d---2----3-----2-----2-----
a--------------------------
e--------------------------

===a==a-aug==a#dim==aminor

e---1-----1-----1-----0---
b---2-----2-----3-----2---
g---1-----2-----1-----1---
d-------------------------
a-------------------------
e-------------------------

==c#===c#-aug==d-dim==c#minor

ok for the root notes, that is to play only 1 string to figure out the chord you need to apply play

e------------------x
b-------------x----2
g--------x----2----x
d---x----3----x-----
a---3----x----------
e---x---------------

==c==f==a==c#

dont forget the first rule of music, that is all notes are half steps. b and c are directly next to eachother and so is e and f... they are both half steps apart, where the rest have the black keys on piano sharp/flats. on guitar the black keys=1 fret, and white keys=1 fret soooo.... the e strings like this...

E--0---1----2----3----4----5----6----7---8
==e==f==f#==g==g#==a==a#==b==c
and so on since each string is its own piano going an octive up at fret 12

E---8----9---10---11---12
==c==c#==d==d#==E

and all the strings down the line follow these rules with the singular string piano.

A---1---2---3---4---5---6
==a#==b==c==c#==d so on...
