Billy Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 When playing rhythm guitar do you use Bar Chords more often than Triads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGeni Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Depends on the song. Sometimes I use Power Chords. Sometimes I use a combination of different types of chords. Currently I'm studying jazz chords and integrating them as well. There's always something new to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious One. Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Barre chords are a great big sound, they have their place. But if I'm playing rhythym while someone else is singing or soloing, I prefer to play smaller chords to leave them some space to work in.

Fred Soukup Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I tend to use triads or open chords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chords work well if you are playing solo but in a group I use what I call little chords and try to stay on the middle strings so as not to compete with the soloist on the top strings or the bass on the low strings.

Alan Desmond Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 See general in general conversation. I posted response to fellow member 9th September. There are charts to show what makes various chords. Remember too if you play D chord shape 2 frets away you've got E. Then it follows 3 frets F and 5 frets G. Then you should know from Octaves 10thfret your back to A. Try it: Also GBE open is naturally Em, if you want Am, it's a bar gbe strings 5th and Dm is bar on gbe 10th. Learn to mix and play open strings too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
