	Chord Theory for the Guitar
		The notes of a triad are the root (or name of the chord) the third counting up from the root and the fifth counting up from the root.
		Minor chords are the same as major chords except that the 3rd is lowered.
		When the usual C chord is played the root, C, is played on the fifth string and an octave higher on the second string; the 3rd, E, is played on the fourth string and an octave higher on the first string; the 5th, G, is played on the third string.

		These chords are probably encountered more often than the diminished triad, and so the "7" is sometimes omitted, effectively leaving it to the discretion of the player whether or not to include the diminished 7th note.
		Augmented seventh chords are formed by adding a minor seventh to an augmented triad, or alternatively by augmenting the 5th of an ordinary seventh chord.
		In a sus chord the third of the chord is replaced by another note – usually the 4th, sometimes the 2nd – with the original notion being that it should resolve by changing to the third, albeit a little late.

		In chord notation, the sixth of either chord is always assumed to be a major sixth rather than a minor sixth.
		Such chords, however, are very rare, as the minor sixth chord member is considered an avoid tone due to the semitone clash between it and the chord's fifth.
		All pop-music chords are assumed to be in root position, with the root of the chord in the bass.

		Below is an A minor chord: A, C, E. The minor chord resembles the major chord except that it has a minor third with a major third on top, while a major chord has a major third with a minor third on top.

		Chords are also said to have a function in their diatonic scale, which relates to the expected resolution of each chord within a key.
		A chord symbol is a letter and/or accidental which indicates a root pitch on which a chord is to be built and other symbols which indicate the chord quality.

		A major chord consists of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of the scale.
		In the first G chord, either of the note B or D can be played in the #2 string.
		Minor chords are formed by moving the 3rd note (10th note also) of the major scale half-step down - that will be moving one fret lower.

	Re: Minor Chord (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I'm not sure if you're referring to melody chords or a solo line, but the first four chords are Cm, Cm (Major 7), Cm7, and Cm6, so the first chord would not require a dominant 7th.
		Theoretically, all minors beyond the minor 7th have a 7th in the foundation, but that doesn't mean you have to play the seventh.
		A major chord example is the 13th chord, which theoretically has an 11th interval that is rarely ever played.

		In twelve-tone equal temperament (now the most common tuning system in th west), a major chord has 4 semitone s between the third and fifth, 3 between the root and third, and 7 between the root and fifth.
		The fifth is only two cent s narrower than the just perfect fifth, but the minor third is noticeably different at 15.641 cents smaller.

	Chord Functions
		The minor major 7th chord typically is the tonic, or possibly the subdominant chord in a minor key area.
		This could be a tonic chord in a major key, or possibly another 7th chord, because you often have a chain of several 7th chords all a fourth higher (or a fifth lower) than the previous one.
		When resolving to a minor chord a fourth higher, you would usually lower the 13 to a -13; it is thus the same note as the 3rd of the minor chord coming up.

	Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Melodic Minor Harmony
		By raising the seventh degree of the minor scale by a half step (that is, raising the G of A minor to G#), these problems are solved.
		The chord built on the fifth is now E7, and the seventh chord built on the root is an A minor triad with a major seventh, often notated Am-maj7.
		For a G7 chord, this means the lowered or flat fifth (Db), the raised or sharp fifth (D#), the lowered or flat ninth (Ab), and the raised or sharp ninth (A#).

	Chords
		Seventh chords built upon augmented triads are extremely rare, as are minor triads with a major seventh and major or minor triads with diminished sevenths.
		Another way of specifying chords that reflects their relationships to a particular key uses roman numerals to indicate the scale degree upon which the chord is built instead of pitch names.
		Notice that this method defines chords according to their relationship within a key, thus providing a means of discussing functional relationships of chord progressions.

	Guitar chords and how to build them.
		A chord is major or minor depending on the distance between the first (root) and the third degree.In all of the chords above, the root is the bottom note and the third is the middle note.
		The first chord built in the key of C is a C major chord and contains the notes C, E and G. The distance between the C and E would be two whole steps.
		The chord built from the second degree is D minor and contains the notes D, F and A. This chord is minor because of the distance between the root (D) and the third (F).

		These three power chords are all exactly alike in pitch, the first D5 shown would sound brighter than the third D5 (similar to playing the third one and then turning the treble knob up and playing it again).

	Music Theory: Basic Theory: Other Minor Scales
		In the section on seventh chords, it was observed that a dominant seventh chord built on the fifth degree of a major scale tends to resolve to the major chord built on the first degree of that scale.
		In the pure minor scale, the chord built on the fifth degree is not a dominant seventh chord but a minor seventh chord.
		The raised seventh degree of these minor scales is referred to as the leading tone, just as the seventh degree of the major scale is. And to avoid the augmented second, the sixth is often raised when it immediately precedes the leading tone.

	D Minor Chord Analysis
		The D minor chord is comprised of one and one-half steps (from the note D to the note F, a minor 3rd interval) and two whole steps (from the note F to the note A, a major 3rd interval).
		Notice that the spelling of the D minor chord form in Figure 1 is D + A + D + F. An alternate voicing to the one discussed above will include the open A string.
		Most often that chord will be notated as Dm/A, indicating that the A note is the lowest note in the voicing.

		A minor chord is still built on a 1-3-5 formation however instead of being one major third followed by a minor third.
		A chord is always named for the lowest note in the chord (the first string played in the chord) although there is one exception which I will get to in a second.
		You do not play the low E because that is not part of the B Minor chord whether or not there is already another F# in the chord doesn't matter because you still want the chord to be called B Minor.

	Minor chords
		A minor chord is a chord that is made up of 3 notes (and their octaves).
		The major chord has a major third (3), and the minor chord has a minor third (b3).
		Now, since the minor chord is a 3 note chord, that means that each note played is one of those three notes.

	Jazz Chord Sequences & Progressions
		The chords are similar because their roots are a diatonic third away from chord I (three out of the four notes of these chords are the same as those in chord I).
		Chord VI is a diatonic 3rd away from chord I and chord IV hence it can be seen either as tonic or subdominant, depending on context.
		It is extremely common to alter the VI chord in this way: one advantage of changing m7 chords to secondary dominants is that there are more interesting sounding extensions and alterations available on dominant 7th chords.

		So whereas with major and minor triads you have the 3rd to give the 'flavour' of the chord (i.e major or minor), with suspended triads you have no 3rd, so the chord is neither major nor minor.
		The 'add' chords simply add to the triad, so Cadd2 would be : Cadd2 = C triad + 2nd = 1st, 2nd, maj 3rd, 5th Csus2 = Csus2 triad = 1st, 2nd, 5th Similarly there is an important difference between 'add9' and '9' chords.
		The difference between this one and a 'normal' diminished is that the 7th of the chord is a flat 7th not a double flat 7th (hence half-diminished).
