| I have been studying the various chord formations (eg. 1,3,5b,7) etc. I am now trying to locate the chords on the neck. What is the best approach? |

I wrote out a chart on a poster board and had all the notes labeled. Then I looked at it a lot, watching for patterns of notes. I was learning to spell chords at the same time. After that, I started thinking about the notes changing because of the pedals. I don't claim this was the best way, but it has been really helpful to me.
This is a nice supplement to a practice routine. Learning to spell, and knowing where the notes are, is helpful.

Hi Randy.
I tried to answer this in an email. It may not have gone through. However, my answer is based on a chart brought out by Fred Treese in your "Flat3" post. Look into that chart, as it was what I had stated in my email.
You can get all the chords (1, 2m, 3m, 4, 5, 6m) at the nut (and therefore at where ever you have the bar and no pedals) looking into that chart.

If you are using a common E9th tuning. Get a copy of MEL BAYS chord chart, It shows fret to bar, Pedals or knee levers to engage to make Major, 7th, Minor, Dimenish and Augmented chords.
b0b sells Mel Bay E9th chord charts here on the forum, Look under Instructions at top left of Forum page. Best 8.00 you can spend to learn the chords on the E9th neck.
Mel Bays Chord Chart is a road map of the E9th neck.
Good Luck and Happy Steelin. |

| I like this approach: Take a song like "Someday Soon " which has major , minor and 7th chords, and find different places on the neck to play the chords . Then you are applying your chord knowledge in a real world way . |

A good practice song is the verse part of Unchained Melody.
At a single given fret you can get chords 1 no ped,6 m cord Ped A , 4 cord Ped A & B, 5 cord (7) Ped B + Knee (E-D#)
2 m A + B + 1st & 7 Strings 3m Knee (E-D#) 1 Aug 1/2 Ped A
Dim Knee ( E to f) or 1M, 2m, 3m, 4M,5M,6m plus dim and aug with P A ,P B , K + and K - All at 1 Frrt. |
