im gonna have to disagree with the F# minor, it has the right notes for an F#m, except for the open string D. this D makes this chord a D/F#. try playing tripping billies or grey street with all open chords, and you will see that D fits intsead of F#m.
For the same chord in the 7th fret, it could be considered a Bm because D is in the Bm scale. same thing for the G, where D is the 5th of the G major scale. and the D on the 10th fret obviously has a D in it.
other than those chords, I mute the D string

look carefully duffman, he didn't write an open D string on that chord chartDuffman wrote:im gonna have to disagree with the F# minor, it has the right notes for an F#m, except for the open string D. this D makes this chord a D/F#. try playing tripping billies or grey street with all open chords, and you will see that D fits intsead of F#m.

Fatjack named them right.
They don't have the fifth degree so technically they are not chords but they do have a major/minor tonality to them. When the E and G sting are fretted at the same fret (2xx2xx) it's a minor 10th and when the G string is fretted one up from the E (2xx3xx) it's a major 10th. The root (note that names the chord/interval) is always on the low E. You can also view these as major/minor thirds except they're seperated by another octave. I know this is way too much info but I just recently got my second wind in regards to theory. I also started to really understand it more when before I just knew of it. I have a whole new lease on guitar playing life.

I think it's better to understand these as what they are period, not what they are in this particular song. The D/F# is exactly that when you let the d resonate but it's silly to say "everyone lets the d resonate". That just narrows your understanding of it. If you don't let the d resonate it is a f# minor 10th interval. Oh and tripping billes is in Bm not D. Play the chorus riff and end on D then play it and end on Bm. I think you'll agree.Duffman wrote:ok, but when they are played, everyone lets the D string resonate. and D/F# fits better with the songs. for instance, tripping billies is in the key of D, with the D/F#, the G, the A, and the reletive minor, Bm.

D and Bm are the same key
and tenth interval? i dont know what you are learning from, but it sounds like it is overcomplicating things...

Case and point.i dont know how many times i've said this:

I don't know how many times I've said this: D and Bm have the same notes but they are very much their own key. I would expect you to have a better undertanding of such a simple concept. If one is a minor key center and the other is a major key center how are they the SAME key. It seems your undercomplicating things. And yet your the go-to guy when it come's to theory.
And yes it's a tenth interval for the same reason we have 9,11, and 13 chords. You omit the 10th/12th when reffering to chords because it's a redundant note (same as the third/fifth) but when you only have two notes the quality of a 10th can be described. If you called it a major or minor 3rd thats not indicating that the notes are spread out over an octave.
I'm not sure if you knew this or not but guitarists are constantly associated with enormous ego's. I think it would only benefit you if you eased up a bit and got more in touch with the MUSIC. I tell you this because I know your trying to make a career out of it and the ego will only hurt you.
