Diatonic chords<\/h2>\n

\"diatonic<\/p>\n

Basically that’s all. You just have to move the position when it’s different key. Like, When it’s D , first chord becomes Dmaj7 . so it’s a same shape of Cmaj7 but you move to 5th fret.<\/p>\n

This is the diatonic chord key D. This is all same chord shape as key C but different frets.<\/p>\n

\"diatonic<\/p>\n

When it’s key-E, then you start from 7th fret. But if you play it with the shapes above, it goes to 12th fret which is ok but also you can play them with the shape below.<\/p>\n

Diatonic chords for minor key<\/h2>\n

About Diatonic for minor key…. it’s complicated because there are 3 different ways. I will explain them later but for now, let’s take a look at easy simplified one.<\/p>\n

\u2160m \u30fc\u2161m7b5\u30fc \u2162maj7\u30fc \u2163m7\u30fc \u21647\u30fc \u2165maj7\u30fc \u21667<\/strong>“]Am – Bm7b5 – Cmaj7 – Dm7 – E7 – Fmaj7 – G7<\/div>\n

I said simplified one but this is commonly used and i will explain a bit about it.<\/p>\n

This diatonic chord below is the one I showed above, key C.<\/p>\n

\"diatonic<\/p>\n

This is major diatonic chords for C but also minor diatonic chords for Am<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Am\u30fc Bm7b5\u30fc Cmaj7\u30fc Dm7\u30fc E7<\/strong><\/span>\u30fc Fmaj7\u30fc G7<\/p>\n

Only one chord is different<\/span><\/strong> because 5th chord must be dominant chord which leads you to 1 chord(key). So it shouldn’t be m7 chord.<\/p>\n
