Nighthawk110th June 2009Great lesson David,
I also remember my first chords...today it's hard to imagine that you ever had problems with barre chords 
I also realised it how difficult those are for beginners because I teached some of em to my sister the other day...

kalupun23rd June 2009hi ,

i will b thankful to you if you can help me to find this..
thanks a lot..
David Wallimann23rd June 2009Yeah, you are right about the Major and minor chords.
A sus9 chord is a chord that replaces the 3rd by a 9th (or 2nd which is the same note as a 9th)
That creates a chord that can replace a Major or minor since the 3rd is not specified...
A sus 4 would be the same concept, but using a 4th instead of a 3rd. Makes sense? :-)
kalupun25th June 2009thanks a lot for your feedback..I think i got little bit point...is that mean....Asus9 will be A B E and Asus4 will be A D E note? And Asus9 and Asus2 are same or diffrent??and how about C9 and G13???how can i find these chords??i will be glad if you help me...
sorry for poor english..
thanks a lot.
I remember my first steps as a guitar player. Those were not easy days! One of the toughest stumbling blocks I had was playing the bar chords correctly. My fingers were not strong enough and it took me a while to get used to those odd fingerings.
A few years have past and I realize today that those chords that gave me so much trouble are actually not really a big part of my musical tools. I often use soem easier shapes for those chords resulting in a smoother, nicer technique. Those chord substitutions will work in most cases and should really help you focus on making music instead of spending all your time trying to play the perfect bar chord.
Once you are familiar with some of the ideas exposed here, try to use these shapes in your own music and see what happens. Have fun!
