  3. Regular tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_tuning

    For all-fourths tuning, all twelve major chords (in the first or open positions) are generated by two chords, the open F major chord and the D major chord. The regularity of chord-patterns reduces the number of finger positions that need to be memorized. [20] The left-handed involute of an all-fourths tuning is an all-fifths tuning.

    Simulates the top four strings, followed by the second-from-bottom string on top, raised a whole step (the F ♯ representing both the top and bottom E). It makes playing in the key of A major easier, though chord fingerings have to be altered unless the strings are rearranged to F ♯-B-E-A-C ♯. Open G tuning – G-d-g-b-d'

  5. F major - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_major

    F major is the home key of the English horn, the basset horn, the horn in F, the trumpet in F and the bass Wagner tuba. Thus, music in F major for these transposing instruments is written in C major. These instruments sound a perfect fifth lower than written, with the exception of the trumpet in F which sounds a fourth higher.

  6. Guitar chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_chord

    The implementation of chords using particular tunings is a defining part of the literature on guitar chords, which is omitted in the abstract musical-theory of chords for all instruments. For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano ), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion.

  7. Chord notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_notation

    D/F ♯ is a D chord with F ♯ in the bass, and; A/C ♯ is an A chord with C ♯ in the bass. Slash chords generally do not indicate a simple inversion (which is usually left to the chord player's discretion anyway), especially considering that the specified bass note may not be part of the chord to play on top.

  8. Guitar tunings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings

    The irregularity has a price. Chords cannot be shifted around the fretboard in the standard tuning E–A–D–G–B–E, which requires four chord-shapes for the major chords. There are separate chord-forms for chords having their root note on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth strings. [44] These are called inversions.

  9. Nashville Number System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_Number_System

    So in the key of C, the Nashville Number System notation: 1 4 1 5 represents a four-bar phrase in which the band would play a C major chord (one bar), an F major chord (one bar), a C major chord (one bar), and a G major chord (one bar). Here is an example of how two four-bar phrases can be formed to create a section of a song.
