Happy New Year 2014! yes, i congratulate all of guitarists who still fight for their music until today, i hope all of you stand still with me. Well, this post will be the continuation for my post: Fun in basic, Major Chords,  and now is about the minor chords on guitar.FYI: these minor chords follow the natural minor scales, so as you can see the A natural minor scale notes are A(1) – B(2) – C(♭3) – D(4) – E(5) – F(♭6) – G(♭7) – A(higher octave) and its interval is w-h-w-w-h-w (w = wholenote, h = halfnote)Basically Minor chords consist the root, the flat-third and the fifth note. if you have an A minor chord, that would be A as the first note (root),  C as the flat-third note(♭3rd), and E as the fifth note.

A  (root),  C(♭3rd), and E (5th)

so, what you have to do next to get B minor chords is write down the B natural minor scale which is B(1) – C#(2) – D(♭3) – E(4) – F#(5) – G(♭6) – A(♭7) – B, see the bold font, and you’ll get B(1) – D(♭3) – F#(5) as your B natural minor chord

B(root),  D(♭3rd), and F#(5th)

the rest chords are easy as long as you hold the natural minor scale as your guidance

C(root),  D#(♭3rd), and G(5th)

D(root),  F(♭3rd), and A(5th)

E(root),  G(♭3rd), and B(5th)

F(root),  G#(♭3rd), and C(5th)

G(root),  A#(♭3rd), and D5th)

easy isn’t it? hahaha
i hope it helps, happy new year everyone!

just few days ago i posted about EVH’s Frankenstrat and today i found that one of my friend is Eddie’s big fan (he’s not a guitarist, he’s a keyboardist). i never knew that until i saw him with his motorbike today. An EVH frankenstrat theme motorcycle and it’s cute!. here I share its pic:

am I right or what?
i saw a lot of people have similar ideas about getting inspired by their idols. Actually it’s the best idea so far in learning guitar. get inspired by your favorite guitarists. you can start with almost everything and every element of this “get inspired” idea will help you in finding your guitar playing identity. surely you know what I’m talking about now isn’t about being a copycat, while actually it is fun when we can do our guitar idol licks and show them off 😀

well, since I’m a guitar learner, and i guess I’m a novice, so there’s nothing more i can talk about this getting inspired idea. all i can do is sharing more love about guitars. I love this Frankenstrat idea, have a good day and keep playing guitar!

did you know?
the Eddie Van Halen’s frankenstrat guitar paint and finish was inspired by a  red Schwinn bicycle paint. A quote from Eddie, he said “The Schwinn bicycle paint gives it pop.”
