Chord Recognition

Identify three-note fretboard patterns as chord names. Each pattern is part of a larger 4-, 5-, or 6- string chord. The qualities choices are lead-sheet style. (Here "o7" is for all types of diminished 7th chords)

Click in the order: chord letter name, chromatic sign for the letter (if necessary), and chord quality.

Level 10—Twenty notes

Level 6—Dyads on ③, ② & ①

For chromatic dyads, continue to select notes from lowest to highest.
Always click the chromatic sign after clicking the correct note name. For example:

Corrections

Page 52 – Alternating Study III. The version printed in the original book has an error in measure 14 – for the sake of correction, this is an excerpt of the piece from measure 13 to the end.

Page 66 – Incorrect chord labeling. The fourth chord is labeled as D Major, when this chord is actually D minor.

Page 79 – The D Minor chord should be fingered 2-4-1 rather than 2-3-1 as shown. This is consistent with the fingering in Simple Song VII.

Page 158 – String Crossing Etude IV, m.12. Beat 3 is a sustained B in the bass, and does not switch to an E.
