I. chord fingerings- open
-This section catalogs chord fingerings which uiilize open strings, organized in a progressive fashion
according to the nunber of stopped notes in the chord. The upstemmed part of the chord
shows the open-string pitches (which cannot be transposed), the downstemmed part of the chord
shows the stopped pitches (which are transposable)
All fingerings shown can be transposed up 10 at least position X (transposed by a m7), possibly higher
depending on the performer and the rango of the available instrument (note to non-guitarist composers:
the practical harmonic range of a classical guitar typically ends at the 12h fret, while modern
acoustic and electric guitars have greater ranges varying from instrument to instrument)
Harmonic analysis changes dramatically with transposition of the stopped notes
1m relarton to the open strings, Be aware thar the chord names iisted for each permuratton
‘no longer apply when the stopped notes are transposed. av Sh
-Below are shawn several examples of chard fingerings transposed through twelve positions, demonstrating the
relationship ofthe open string "drone" notes to the ransposable stopped pitches. The chord symbol or each
position is included to illustrate how dhe harmonic analysis changes dramatically with each transposition.
