You are here:HomeGuitar TheoryGuitar ChordsChord Theory and Construction
Through learning guitar chords theory, you will be able to understand how chords on
the guitar are constructed, and thus have a better understanding of guitar theory in
general.
As a beginner guitarist, this is not that relevant, but as you advance in your guitar
studies, you will want to do more than just play chords, youll want to understand why
your favorite songs sound the way they do, experiment with new chords, and with time,
write you own songs.
To be able to understand how guitar chords are constructed, youll have to first be
familiar with the major scale and its intervals. If you dont know the major scale on the
guitar yet, I suggest you read about it, otherwise chord theory will not be
understandable.
Major Chords (Major Triads)

A guitar chord contains at least 3 notes. These 3 note chords are called triads. A major
triad (major chord) uses 3 notes from the major scale, the Root (1), the 3rd degree note
(3) and the 5th degree note (5). These notes will make up all major chords on the major
scale, with the root note defining the label of the chord (what its called, for example, C
major, G major, etc.).
Major Chord = I-III-V degree notes of the major scale
Now, if you look on the "boxed" E string major scale, the first occurance of the 3rd and
5th lie on the same string, so to create a chord where all 3 notes can ring out, we need to
use the higher 3rd on the G string.
To understand this, lets have a look at the most well known major scale shape, rooting on
a G note on the low E string.
Remember the G major fingering?
As we just learned, the 1st, 3rd and 5th degree notes make up a major chord. Since our
root note is the G, its 3rd degree will be a B, and its 5th degree will be a D.
1 W 2 W 3 H 4 W 5 W 6 W 7 H 8(1)
=
G W A W B H C W D W E W F# H G
Now have a look at the scale shape again, notice the fingering, and that even the open D
and G strings are in the triad, since the 1st and 5th degree notes at fret 5 of strings A
and D are the same as their neighboring open strings.
If you were to use this same scale shape and play the G major chord as a bar chord, you
would be using these notes from the major scale, resulting in a higher voicing of the G
major chord:
This triad is of course applicable on all major scale shapes, so if you were to use a shape
that roots on the A string, you would apply the 1st 3rd and 5th degree notes and get the
major chord, as with this C chord:
Again, remember the C major fingering, and recognize thats it is the triad pattern in the
major scale. The open strings are triad notes as well. If you take the same scale to a
higher voicing, you will arrive at the C major bar chord.
Minor Chords
Minor chords, or minor triads are constructed the same way, the difference is the minor
sound, which is always a flat third degree note in minor triads:
Minor Chord = I b III - V degree notes
So minor chords are the root note, a flattened third note (1 semitone below the regular
3rd degree) and the fifth note of the major scale.
As such, lets return to our original G major chord example, and transform it into a G
minor chord. We have to flatten the 3rd degree note, which brings us to a small limitation
of the G minor chord, since the non-bar minor chord fingering is hard to produce, so we
mostly use the minor bar chord fingering:
The same applies to the C, we simple use a flattened third to sound a minor C chord:
Suspended (Sus) Chords

You have probably played suspended chords already, not its time to find out how they are
built. With suspended, the 3rd degree note is left out of the triad, and is replaced by the
note specified by the chord, which will be either a 2nd or 4th degree note on the major
scale:
Sus4 Chord = I IV - V degree notes
Sus2 Chord = I II - V degree notes
Lets return to the G bar chord example again, and transform the G major bar chord into a
Sus4 chord. We know that the interval on the major scale between the 3rd and 4th
degree notes is 1 semitone (half-note), so if we would be transforming a major chord that
uses third degree notes, we would have to simply move up from the 3rd degree note one
semitone to the 4th degree note to construct a Sus4 chord.
So to put it simply, we replaced the 3rd by the 4th note in the major scale.
Try arpeggiating it, than play the major chord. Youll see that the sus4 chord will sound
unfinished by itself, but if you resolve to the major, itll be just right.
Try this with other chords as well, for example the D major and the Dsus4. Try hammering
onto the 4th degree and pulling back onto the major triad 3rd degree.
Augmented Chords
Augmented chords are triads as well, which means that they will contain 3 notes from the
major scale. Augmented chords are used in jazz and blues very often, so if this is your
musical style, youll love these chords.
Augmented chords are similar to major chords, with the exception that the 5th degree is
raised 1 semitone (half-note), so its a sharp 5th note on the major scale.
Augmented Chord = I III - #V degree notes
Looking at the G chord again, the augmented chord shape will look like this:
Notice that we leave the B and E strings out of this chord shape. This is because it would
be too hard to finger, but since these notes are already played in this voicing, there is no
problem if we omit them. If you wanted to arpeggiate this chord, you could use the
omitted notes, since you wont have to hold down every string during an arpeggio. Try it
out!
Alternatively, if we wanted a higher voicing of the G augmented chord, we could play

these notes instead:
So all youll need to remember, is that augmented chords have a sharpened 5th degree
note, as compared to major chords. And as always, you can use this anywhere on the
fretboard, as long as you stick to the predefined intervals.
Diminished Chords
Diminished chords are made up of 3 notes as well, so they are triads. They resemble
minor chords, in that they have a flattened 3rd degree, the difference is that their 5th
degree note is flat as well.
Diminished Chord = I bIII - bV degree notes
Let's look at a diminished chord built around the E-shape (E string root note)
Again, notice how we omit the notes on the 2 highest strings, simply because it would be
impossible to finger as a chord. But again, as with the augmented chord, if you wanted to
play an arpeggio over this chord, you could use the notes on the strings you would
otherwise omit from the chord fingering.
So all-in-all, a diminished chord is just a minor chord with a flat 5th degree. This is the
easiest way to remember it, just like with the augmented chord, which is a major chord
with a sharp 5th degree.
7th Chords
Weve been covering triads until now, but of course there are chords that have more than
3 notes. The first set of chords well look at are 7th chords.
Why are they called 7th? Because the fourth added note, will be the seventh degree note
on the major scale. Pretty simple!
7th chords have several variations, as did the triads, lets have a look one-by-one.
Major 7 chords
Major 7 chords are pretty straight forward, they are merely major chords with an added
7th note. These chords are used in jazz very often.
Major 7 Chord = I III V VII degree notes
So if you know the major scale (and you should already), constructing 7th chords are
simple. Lets look at the G example again:
So this is a G Major 7 or Gmaj7. Notice that to add the 7th degree note to the otherwise
major chord shape, we moved 1 semitone lower from fret 5 string D, which was a G note.
Of course, this is not a problem, since it was a second root and there are still 2 other
instances of the G note in the shape.
This is another aspect of building chords that youll instinctively get familiar with, once
you know the major scale and the chord equations, in that youll have to sacrifice
notes, that would otherwise still be in the chord, since you need to replace them to make
room for notes you could otherwise not add. You could get many-many voicings of the
same chord, just from playing around with this.
Dominant 7 Chords
Well look at the dominant 7 chord next. The only difference from the major 7 chord is
that the dominant 7 uses a flat 7th degree note. Youll come across dominant chords
often, so just remember that whenever a chord is dominant, it will have a flat 7th degree
note.
Dominant 7 Chord = I III V bVII degree notes
Another important thing about dominant chords, is their notation. When you see G7 for
example, it means G dominant 7. There is no added notation between the letter and the
number. So unless otherwise noted with a maj prefix, if you just see 7 beside a root
note, it will mean a flattened 7th note.
Lets look at our classic G chord example. But no we cant, the fingering wouldnt work.
Instead, well revert to the open string G chord, and turn it into a G7 by adding the
flattened seventh note from the major scale:
Minor 7 Chords
Minor 7 chords are similar to the dominant 7 chord above, the only difference is the
flattened 3rd degree note, transforming the chord minor into a minor chord. Remember
that if a chord has a flat 3rd degree, it will be a minor chord.
Minor 7 Chord = I bIII V bVII degree notes
We can return to the G bar chord again, it would look like this:
The notation for minor 7th chords, with the G as our example, will bes G minor 7 or Gm7.
Again, if you would want to play an arpeggio based on the notes of this chord, you could
use every note the chord uses, so the 1st, flat 3rd, 5th and flat 7th notes along the
shape. Remember, as long as you stick to the intervals as specified, you will play the
correct note.
Augmented 7 chords
Augmented 7th chords are similar to the augmented triads we learned about earlier, the
only difference is that well be adding a fourth note, as with all 7th chords. Now if youll
remember, the augmented triad was the 1st, 3rd and sharp 5th degree notes. To turn this
into an augmented 7 chord, well have to add a flat 7th degree note.
Augmented 7 Chord = I III #V bVII degree notes
We cant demonstrate using the good old G, so well use string A fret 3, a C note as our
root, and build the chord from there. Remember that its all about intervals. If you have
your root, just count the intervals along the strings, and youll have the chord.
The above diagram is thus a C Augmented 7 (also written Caug7). Its a bit tricky to
finger, since you have to hold a bar across the third fret, try it out. Alternatively, as with
all our chords, you could arpeggiate the notes of the chord.
So just remember, augmented refers to the augmented triad, and the 7 refers to the
flat 7th note added to the triad.
Half Diminished Chords

Half diminished chords are 7th degree chords, and include the root, flat 3rd and flat 5th
just like a regular diminished triad, but also adding a flat 7th note.
Half Diminished Chord = I bIII bV bVII degree notes
Sticking with the G, it would look like this:
The above is written as Gm7b5. Just remember the denotation, its actually easier to see
whats going on with this chord from the written notation, since the m is short for
minor, meaning a flat 3rd, the 7 means a flat 7th, and the b5 means flat 5th.
Diminished 7 chords
Diminished 7th chords are based on the diminished triad, as the first 3 notes are I, bIII,
bV, but youll also be adding a double flat 7th note.
Diminished 7 Chord = I bIII bV bbVII degree notes
Yes, double flat! You flatten the 7th degree note twice, so it would actually be a 6th
degree note, but most musicians use the double flat notation, since its a 7th chord and
is easier to remember this way.
You may be thinking "well, that double flatted 7th is now in the position of the 6th note in
the major scale" - well you're absolutely right, but in this context with the 5th being
flattened into a diminished position, the rules of music take over to highlight the context,
a double-flatted 7th note, a diminished 7th in relation to the natural dominant 7th
position (which was a flat 7th to begin with!)
Lets look at an example, well use the C root, so this will be a C diminished 7 (Cdim7):
As you can see, neither of the E strings are used in this fingering. If you were to play an
arpeggio over the notes of this chord, you could use the relevant notes on the E strings
without problem.
Extended Chords
Now that weve looked over triads, which have 3 notes, and 7th chords, which have 4
notes, we will touch on chords that use even more notes. These are called extended
notes. Extended chords are used to create fuller sounding chords.
First of all, youll need to know the order of chord tones. As you know, the musical
alphabet starts over 1 octave above the root, so when we reach the 8th degree on the
major scale, we start the numbering over, since the 8th degree will be the original root
note 1 octave higher, the 9th degree would be the 2nd note, the 10th degree would be
the 3rd note, the 11th degree the 4th note, the 12th degree the 5th note, the 13th
degree the 6th note
So to make it short, the cycle looks like this:
1
11
13
Root
3rd
5th
7th
9th
11th
13th
(4th)
(6th)
Chord Tone Order
When you construct extended chords, you can use the 9th, 11th (4th), and 13th (6th)
degree notes as well.
Youll need to remember, that when you see a notation for a chord, only the highest
degree is noted. So if you had to build a G9 chord, you would know that it contains every
degree up till the 9th note on the major scale note, like this:
1
b7
Root
3rd
5th
flat 7th
9th
ADD chords
Contrary to the above, if we cannot add all of the notes to a chord and have to leave one
out of the natural progression as per the major scale, we call these chords add chords.
For example, an add9 chord will have the following interval pattern:
Add9 Chord = I III V IX degree notes
11th and 13th chords

Once we start pumping in more and more notes, we will inevitably run into more and
more tones that we just cannot have in the chord, if we want to play the higher degree
notes as well. What to do?
As a rule of thumb, youll usually want to leave out the 5th degree note when this
happens.
The more notes you add, the more likely that one of the notes will unharmonious
with the rest of the chord. Just leave that note out. Remember, that if it sounds good,
it is good!
With 13th chords, we usually leave the 11th degree note out.
Chord Progression
You can get really inventive with a bit of strumming and chord progressions. The
following is a quick rundown, but I urge you to learn some chord progression theory, it'll
take you far.
There are some very famous chord progressions, such as the I-IV-V chord progression,
and its really easy to make up your own progressions. All you need to do is know the key
you want to play in, and be familiar with the modes of the major scale.
Example chord progressions:
Key of C, I-IV-V chord progression: I = C, IV = F, V = G
Key of G, I-IV-V chord progression: I = G, IV = D, V = C
Key of C, 1-III IV-V chord progression: I = C, III = Em, IV = F, V = G (Notice

that III was an E minor chord, since the III degree is minor)
Key of A, I-VI-IV-V chord progression: I = A, VI = F#m, IV = D, V = E (Again,

notice that VI was an F# minor chord, since the III degree is minor)
