C major on the D, A, and low thick E string.

3rd fret low E, 3rd fret A string, 2nd fret D string

8th fret low E string, 7th fret A string, 5th fret D string

12th fret low E string, 10th fret A string, 10th fret D string

15th fret low E string, 15th fret A string, 14th fret D string - this is one octave above first example.

This completes the four string groups for the C major chord. Once you learn all the positions and note names for each chord across neck, then do this same process for the other most common chords: C minor,C diminished, C augmented. (Music Chord Theory 101, Music Chord Theory part two)

Then start to do in other key:, D, E ,F ,G ,A ,B.




Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.

String groups for guitar part 1

There are four main string groups for guitar. 
They are: E,B,G - B,G,D - G,D,A - D,A,E. 
When you view the guitar neck into sections it makes it easier to understand.
Also you will see how other chord types are created.

Starting with a (triad) 3 note C major chord at the first fret of the guitar on the 
E-B-G stings lets start and progress up to the neck.

1) Open thin E string, C note first fret B string and open G string 

2) Then 3rd fret thin E string, 5th fret B string and 5th fret G string

3) Then 8th fret thin E string, 8th fret B string, 9th fret G string.

4) Then 12th fret thin E string, 13th fret B string and 12th fret G string - 
this is one octave above first example.

If you have followed this correctly you will have four three note chords 
starting at the 1st fret and ending at the to 13th fret.

Practice playing these up and back the neck - also memorize the note names for each position of the C major chord.



Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
