Minor chords, have a more somber sound than major chords. They are constructed by playing the root note, the minor third, and the perfect fifth of a scale simultaneously. For example, a C minor chord would be made up of the notes C, E♭, and G.

Please Note: String numbers are inverted when describing chord boxes, so String 4 (also known as the “bottom” string) is far left and String 1 (also known as “first” or “top” string) is on the right of the box chart.
