![]() ![]() If you find an interesting chord position that you like, try to find a place to use it - it may work, or not. It may take a long time for you to discover your voice, but remember that it’s a learning process and will change over time. I find that backing is about finding your own voice on the guitar, then finding others who like your voice. The more serious replies here are mostly helpful, depending, of course, on your level of skill, and your ability to experiment. Re: alternative guitar chords in standard tuning for trad backing ![]() Oh I don’t have diagrams, cause I don’t know how to draw them out in this text format. usually chords that are only a third away can be substituted for one another, this is a typical case. this is a substitution for a chord a third away. the vii chord can be used as dominant chord leading to the final tonic chord but the V chord or V7 chord is more often used. because the interval between vii and ii is a minor third and so is the interval between ii and IV. the order is I ii iii IV V vi vii’ ,…where lowercase letters are minor chords and capital letters are Major chords the last chord vii’ is diminished which is two minor thirds stacked on top of each other. If you know the order of major to minor diatonic chords for a major key then you don’t need to draw out each chord, unless you want to remember certain chords you stumble across accidentally, or plan out differently voiced chords for a particular song or tune, to follow a melody. these can all be played major or minor with no difference in difficulty. the E shape, the A shape and the D shape. ![]() In standard tuning there really are only three chord shapes. Eventually chord patterns are just there, of course on guitar they are different for every key because of the odd interval from the G to B string. I used to do this with graph paper when i was learning guitar. ![]()
