Today's guitar chord of the day is Bb minor and we'll be looking at two different fingerings for this chord. The first fingering is the easiest as it doesn't involve a barre and uses just the top four strings.

Minor chords use these scale degrees: 1, b3, 5
Bb minor uses these notes = Bb, Db, F

These chords are movable, playing the same fingering on another fret transposes the chord to a different key:

1st fret Bb minor / A# minor
  • 2nd fret B minor
  • 3rd fret C minor
  • 4th fret Db minor / C# minor
  • 5th fret D minor
  • 6th fret Eb minor / D# minor
  • 7th fret E minor
  • 8th fret F minor
  • 9th fret Gb minor / F# minor
  • 10th fret G minor
  • 11th fret Ab minor / G# minor
