b cord?

[wavey]

help im self teaching and have learnt a lot of cords but i dont seem to have enough fingers for a b cord ,,can some one help me on where to place my fingers ,as im a huge james fan and the song sit down has a b in it many thanks :rolleyes:

[pete_182]

the b chord i use is:

| - 0 - - -
| - 0 0 - -
| - 0 - - 0
| - 0 - 0 -
| - 0 - - -
| - 0 - - -

each (-) is a fret. sorry i dont know how to tab properly. with the line of 0's your 1st finger does it all and then its like an Dm chord but 1 up and 1 along. its quite hard to get used to but it works well enough. hope this is helpful.

Do you mean B, Bb, or something else? The lowercase "b" is reserved for signifying a note or chord is "flat".


Bmajor - [x2444x]

= = = = = =
| | | | | |
| i i i i |
| | | | | |
| | p p p |
| | | | | |

i= index finger
p= pinky finger

As you can see, use your index finger for the barre on the second fret and your pinky to close the B, G and D strings on the fourth fret.

Eh??? That wouldn't be a B chord. I don't know what that's called but it isn't a B or a Bb(flat)


Here is a B and a Bb
e¦-------------------------------------
B¦--4--------------3-------------------
G¦--4--------------3-------------------
D¦--4--------------3-------------------
A¦--2--------------1-------------------
E¦-------------------------------------

You have to bar the 2nd fret with your first finger and use your 3rd finger on the D G and B strings (4th fret) Move everything down 1 fret if it's a Bb you wanted. Check out the bar chord section.

Pete_182, your plaing a B minor/F# with a C thrown in where a B should be. I dont know what you'd call that. At least it looks like that from your tab thingy.
