#ChordMelodyChallenge - Day 7 - How to move chords up the fretboard. Did you know that every chord is actually just a moveable shape that can go up and down the fretboard? Did you know that when you move the shape it changes its frequency and becomes a new chord? Meaning you can move the E minor to make it an E minor, or a G minor, a G chord moved, when moved 5 frets towards the sound hole, becomes a C chord. Melody and scales also function the same way, a concept called transposition, which we won't be getting to in this chord melody challenge (we will have to save that for round 2). Why would you ever want to move a chord shape up the fretboard? Well, the answer is fairly simply, if the melody moves up the fretboard you can use chord shapes that are also up the fretboard so you don't have to try and stretch your hand 5, 6, 7 or 8 frets! In the most basic terms, to make things easier and more comfortable. You can do this idea without using full barre chords as well, as we demonstrate here with the G minor, but you can move just 3 strings up, or even just 2 if you want, you don't have to move the entire chord to imply the harmony. Your ear is more musically aware than you realize and can recognize a IV and V chord with minimal harmony quite naturally, which in itself is biologically amazing. We are going to take this concept slow by learning how to play Shady Grove, a country standard and a sung that has been song by 1000s of people for well over 100 years. In fact that song is such a classic standard that who wrote it is even unknown and often disputed!
