APPENDIX TWO

Chord Charts

In this book you are introduced to major, minor and seventh chords. The following chord charts contain many other chords you may find in sheet music. Other important chord types are the minor seventh chord (m7), augmented (+) and diminished (o) chords. These are listed on the following pages. There are many other types of chords e.g., sixth (6), suspended (sus), ninth (9) etc. The following charts show three different positions for each chord:

The root position. This shape has the root note (i.e., the note the chord is named after) as the lowest note of the chord.
The first inversion contains the same notes as the root position but places them in a different order.
The second inversion contains the same notes as the root position but places them in a different order again.
