Which chord diagram resource do you use?
Hi,
When you guys practice chord inversions (Triad, Diminished and 7th chords) in the major scale or minor scale. Which diagram or reference book or website do you prefer? Do you do barre chords or break it into 3-4 strings at a time? I find barre chords to be hard on the hands for longer periods. I would like to develop a practice rutine in the major (and or minor scale) for mastering the scale and also the chords and their inversions in the scale. I would really appreciate some help. I am going to get the Skeptical Guitarist book soon, however it would also be nice to have some chord diagrams or ressource for the scales to just pull out and practice. |

Regarding triad inversions check:
https://online.berklee.edu/takenote/...the-fretboard/ Noticing where there are the same fretting shape patterns for different triad sequences (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd inversions for the C chord, the C# chord, the D chord, ...) will simplify things immensely for your memory.

I have an app on my phone and tablet called Guitarist Ref that will show you any chord in a variety of positions and inversions, and will also show you triads, scales, etc. It'll also identify chords if you show it the notes on the fretboard. I've found that handy at times when I'm just messing around and find something that sounds good but I can't see what it is - it'll tell me. That's happening less and less - my own ID skills have improved a lot, but it's still a handy tool to have.
I don't remember if I paid anything for it - maybe $5 or so? -Ray |

Heh, it is pretty simple, which is one thing I like about it. A simple, well designed, very useful tool.
As opposed to a lot of other website that were being designed in 1998, which leaned heavily on explosions, flames and light all playing on Flash, and which took 3 days to load. |

I haven't looked at a chord reference since buying my 1st Mel Bay book of chords in '72. I'm not one to care about naming the chord shapes I use, or practicing for that matter. I play something new/different each time I pick up a guitar for the sake of improvisation. It's the one thing I do that I prohibit any form of technical process or reference from de-romanticizing.

As far as inversions of major and minor triad chords I find those based on using strings two, three, and four
most generally useful (melody note available on first string and room below for some other stuff). In my text I point out for example that with the F chord shape your fingers on strings two, three and four will be fretting the root triad, and etc. The example shows an F chord and Fm chord. Start at different locations for the other triad chords.

When it comes to 7th chords and beyond, Jimmy Bruno's material is worth looking at. Here's a site that gives some explanation and a chart of chord inversions to use:

I stopped using chord books many years ago.
A good knowledge of the fret board and this handy tool are all you need. http://leewm.freeshell.org/origami/chord-ruler.pdf The original slide rule is no longer made. I got mine about 30 years ago for fifty cents.
