Chords

Page 1 of 1

Here are some of the more commonly used open position chords.

These are moveable chord forms. That means that they are different chords on different frets. I have included the major, minor, 7th, diminished (sometimes written with a small zero next to the letter name) and the augmented (sometimes witten with a plus sign next to the letter name.) The circled dot represents the root, or letter name of the chord. When using the "Form 1" chord formation, if the dot is one the 2nd fret, theses chords with be A, am, A7, Adim and Aaug. When there are moved up so that the circled dot is on the 3rd fret, they are A# or Bb, a#m or Bbm, A#7 or Bb7, etc. With the circled dot on 4th fret they become B chords. On 5th fret C, 6th fret C# or Db, 7th fret D, 8th fret D# or Eb, 9th fret E, 10th fret F, 11th fret F# or Gb, 12th fret G, 13th fret G# or Ab. When using "Form 2" chords, if the circled note is on the 3rd fret, the letter name of the chord will be F. On the 4th fret F# or Gb, 5th fret G, 6th fret G# or Ab, 7th fret A, 8th fret A# or Bb, 9th fret B, 10th fret C, 11th fret C# or Db, 12th fret D, 13th fret D# or Eb, 14th fret E. When using the "Form 3" chords, if the circled note is on the 2nd fret, the letter name of the chord will be C# or Db. On the 3rd fret D, 4th fret D# or Eb, 5th fret E, 6th fret F, 7th fret F# or Gb, 8th fret G, 9th fret G# or Ab, 10th fret A, 11th fret A# or Bb, 12th fret B, 13th fret C.

These are some of my many banjo arrangements. I have posted them in two different formats. Some are in Tabrite format and some are in Tabledit format. Some I have posted in both formats. In order to open these songs, you will need the software. On my Links page, I have a link to the Tabledit website. The Tabledit program is reasonably priced and available in both Mac and PC versions. They also offer a FREE program that displays, prints and plays their files. It is called TEFview. It is available at the same website. The Tabrite program is no longer supported and the website is down, but the program is still available FREE at either the Banjo Hangout or Phil Mann's site. Both are on my Links page. Below are the Tabs. The left column has the tabs in Tabrite format and the right column has the tabs in Tabledit format.
