Mandolin Lesson - Major Chord Forms / Chord Inversions
Loading...
Uploaded by MandoMarkinIndy on Mar 16, 2008
A quick mandolin lesson of major chord forms and their inversions using the 1st, 3rd, & 5th of the scale (do-mi-so) in the lead or highest sounding note. These chord forms, also called bar chords or box patterns can be used for any major chord. By learning the pattern of these forms you can move any major chord to the 1, 3 and 5 inversions of that chord. The video shows G and A major chords and touches on D and C but learn these patterns for all of your major chords. As Grisman said "Your fingerboard should be a comfortable place for your fingers to "hang out" at"!

@allendupras Work on the inversions for the common chords first like, G, D, A, C etc and then work on the 7th form inversions as well...not to mention the minor forms. The fun never stops!

this might be stupid, but is there a difference between an a-style and f-style? besides the shape?
TheEnjoiPandolin 1 year ago
@TheEnjoiPandolin - A & F style mandolins were a desigination that Gibson started, A for the teardrop shape and F for the "scrolled" mandolin shape. Both styles can haved either f shaped or round / oval shaped sound holes in the top and both are tuned the same. The F style seems prefered by most because it usually has more punch and because it is what Mr. Monroe played. The A style tends to have a sweeter sound and usually requires less work to build.
