Guitar Harmonics Chords B minor
In a previous Guitar Chord a Day post we introduced the idea of playing guitar chords with harmonics.
Todays guitar chord is a simple B minor triad. Play this chord with harmonics by lightly resting your finger touching the strings over the 7th fret, once youve plucked them you can remove your left hand to let them ring.
Guitar harmonics have a beautiful chime like sound and are a simple way to add some tonal variation to common chords.

Guitar Harmonics Chords D Major
Playing the natural harmonics on the guitar creates a beautiful chime like sound. Usually guitar harmonics are played as part of solos but we can also play a number of chords just from the natural harmonics of the guitar.
To play natural harmonics, rest your finger lightly above the fret. Todays guitar chord of the day is a D Major chord played only with harmonics. This can work well when substituted for an ordinary D Major chord at the end of song or in a break.
Rest your finger lightly above the 7th fret of the guitar and play the D, G and B strings with your right hand.
Harmonics only occur on certain locations on the fretboard, in this case the notes of the harmonics (A, F# and D) are the same for the harmonics at the 7th fret and the fretted notes but this is not always the case.
Playing some chords with harmonics can add an interesting twist to your rhythm playing. In some future posts well look at further guitar harmonic chords and chords that mix harmonics and ordinary fretted notes. Subscribe to the RSS feed and tune in tomorrow for another Guitar Chord Of The Day
