Play all family and transpose with breeze
Guitar Chords voicing is basically playing the same chord at different position on the finger board or the neck of the guitar
Why 1, 4, 5 is Major? Why 2, 3, 6 Minor? Why 7 is Diminish
Interval of 2 is Major 3rd, Interval of 1 1/2 is Minor 3rd
Interval of 1 1/2 Minor 5th, Interval of 2 is Major 5th

Gsus2 (1-2-5, G-A-D) = Dsus4 (1-4-5, D-G-A)
Hence:
Csus2 = Gsus4
Dsus2 = Asus4
Esus2 = Bsus4
Fsus2 = Csus4
Gsus2 = Dsus4
Asus2 = Esus4
Bsus2 = F#sus4
C6 (1-3-5-6, C-E-G-A) = Am7 (1-b3-5-b7, A-C-E-G)
Hence
C6 = Am7
D6 = Bm7
E6 = C#m7
F6 = Dm7
G6 = Em7
A6 = F#m7
B6 = G#m7

Miscellaneous
This section contains diadic "fifth" (2 note 'chords'),
the "Sus" chords, and the #11. A #11 contains a perfect fifth
as well as a sharp eleven, (which is the same note as a flat five but an octave higher).
These chords do not have a Major or Minor tonality, since there is no 3rd. However the #11 chord does have a Lydian sound.
| Chord Type | Symbol | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Fifth | 5 | 1-5 |
| Flat Fifth | -5 | 1-b5 |
| Suspended Fourth | sus4 | 1-4-5 |
| Suspended Second | sus2 | 1-2(9)-5 |
| Sharp Eleven | #11 | 1-5-#11 |

Chord Melody Concept - Playing Chords and Melodies together
Chord Melodies
- Getting the melody and write them down
- Follow the chord shape of the song and put in melody, likely using sus2, sus4 and other color chords or transitional chords, sometimes add in other major and minor chords within the same family in order to get the melody sound while strumming the chords

Passing Chords
Passing Chords is usually 5th to Root Chord
Eg Chord Progression
C G D Em
4 1 5 6
Add Passing Chords
C G D B Em Dm G/B
4 1 5 6
To add 1 Passing Chord before Em, Add B(B7). Em F G A B(B7) (B is 5th of Em)
To add 2 Passing Chords before C, Add G(G7). C D E F G (G is 5th of C)
Add another before G(G7), Add Dm(Dm7). G A B C D (D is 5th of G)
Passing Chords
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b8O8jcj-qrk
Method 1: Chord family, Every 1 note has 3 possible chords (1, 3, 6, C, Em, Am)
Method 2: Use dom7th, 5th chord
Method 3: Use of 2-5-1. (Target chord is C, then Dm7-G7-C) Use 7th chord to Jezz it up.
Method 4: Use color chords, sus2, sus4

Concept of Phrasing
Concept of Phrasing in Singing
- Which word to drag, drag for how long and which are the words to be joined
- Add dynamics to the phrase (where to be loud and put emphasize and where to be soft)
- Where to breath
We can also apply the above phrasing techniques into guitar dynamic
