TAC Family Forums

Some of the first chords I learned before my long time away from guitar were barre chords. A friend back then gave me the keys to the kingdom by explaining movable chords and then showing me the shapes for Major, Minor, 7ths, Major and Minor 7th, diminished and even half diminished chords. Of course by the time I came back to playing again after 25+ years I’d all but forgotten them and so went open chord mostly. I’ve been doing some extra study off the TAC site since lockdown though and starting to get them back under my fingers. They’re easy (once you know and can make the shapes) and super handy…especially when playing with other people…and yes, FUN! It amazes me how many TAC people seem to fear them or generally have a hard time with them or simply dislike these most useful shapes.
