One note. A different feeling. Switch to minor. See what moves, then hear what changes.
A major chord Fingers: 2-3-4
Major Minor
A major chord Low E is muted. A and high E are open. Press D, G, and B at the second fret. The highlighted C sharp is the third. E A D G B e × 2 E A C♯ Root A Third C♯ Fifth E
Listen to the whole chord Hear chord
Play Major, switch to Minor, and play it again. The highlighted note is the third.
The third is the difference. C♯ gives you A major. Lower it one fret to C and you get A minor. That’s the connection behind the two shapes.
