Alternatives for Complicated Chords

Preamble to these alternative chords

Here are some alternative easier chords.

If you struggle to play one of these chords, try their alternatives.

Sometimes, it will fit with the music that you want to play. Sometimes not.

Major Chords

Alternative chord for A# - Bb

You can change:
A# - Bb to A#maj7 - Bbmaj7 (A#maj7 - Bbmaj7 are the same chords)

You can change:
A# - Bb to Gm7

Gm7 is often an easier option to play. But be careful — even though it differs from A# by just one note, that small change can alter the song’s musical “colour.”
For example, instead of playing a Bb in "Happy Birthday" in the key of F, I really like the sound of the Gm7 instead. see Happy Birthday in F.

Alternative chord for B

You can change:
B to B7

Alternative chord for C# - Db

You can change:
C# - Db to C#6 - Db6 (these two are the same chords)

Alternative chord for D

You can change:
D to Dsus2

Or you can play the D with a different voicing (same chord, but another way to play it):

Alternative chords for D# - Eb

You can change:
D# - Eb to D#add9

or

Alternative chord for E

minor Chords

G#7 - Ab7 to G#aug - Abaug

Decoding the Secret Numbers on Your Chord Chart! Reading Finger Numbers

It is very simple.

In the chord chart below, do you see the numbers in the dots? They tell you which finger to use on each string.
The thumb doesn't get a number — it stays free behind the neck to give support.

1: index finger

2: middle finger

3: ring finger

4: little finger

So if you see a "2" on the second fret of a string, that means: press that fret with your middle finger.

This simple system keeps your hand in the right position and makes changing chords much easier.
