In this week's Chord of the Day I wanted to present to you all the different grips we can use for the F chord and its possible substitutions in the open position, incorporating both additional fretted notes and open strings. An F chord is formed with the notes F, A and C. We can play a simple triad shape across strings 4, 3 and 2. If I replace the A note on string 3 with the open G I create what is called an Fsus2. Adding an open string 1 to these shapes creates an Fmaj7 (commonly used by beginners to replace an F chord) or Fmaj7sus2. I can fret notes on string 1 to create a mini-barre F chord when pressing into fret 1 with finger 1. Grabbing the G note on fret 3 with the pinky finger creates an Fadd9. I have another Fsus2 if I add the open string 3 to this grip. As you become comfortable with these shapes and your technique develops you can look to add extra notes to the lower strings. Adding a C note on string 5 creates a series of slash chords (in which F is considered the root note but the lowest note we play is a C). The final stage is to try and add an F note on string 6 using the thumb over the top of the neck. This allows you to play chord grips with open strings, which will not be possible with a full barre F chord. Finally I'll show you how to play the barre F chord. I find it helpful to think about an E chord shape being formed in fingers 2, 3 and 4, with finger 1 acting as a capo to press across all the strings. This one takes time but little and often is the key to getting this sounding clean.

Piano chords come in any number of shapes and sizes...much like people!

They are made up of different numbers of notes, can be in different keys, have progressive formats for the one chord, and create a sense of fullness in our sound on the piano. If you have learned single notes and are able to play them on the piano, you are ready to learn about chords and how to play them. One of the biggest differences you're going to find in playing chords versus single notes is that you get a lot more sound when you play them because there are more notes to play at one time. Another difference is that you'll hear harmony from the combination of notes being played together, versus the more melodic lines you get with just playing one note at a time. The most important things to learn about chords is the 4 main types of chords, how to spell them, and how to play chord progressions.

First, let's look at what we mean when we say "spell chords".
