Chords

The first note (the root note) may be moved to another root note on either the 'E' or 'A' string, and using the same fingering pattern will be the major or minor key of the root note. You may do the same with the 'D' or 'g' string remembering that the 'b' string must be shifted up by one fret. ************************************ **Fingering Legend (only relates to fingering tab below, not by fret tab) 1 = index finger 2 = midle finger 3 = ring finger 4 = pinky finger ************************************
