Basic Chords Fingering (RH)

[T-Block]

This post is used to help beginners decide what fingers to use to play what chord.  Now, these are my own personal list of fingerings that I use all the time, and I think it will help out many people.  I got them in every key w/all the inversions.  Check it out:

Fingerings For Basic Chords (RH)

First I will give you the key, then the chord name, then the inversion, then the letters that make up the chord, then the fingers used to play them.  In case you don't know your fingers:

1 = thumb
2 = index
3 = middle
4 = ring
5 = pinky

Like I said at the beginning, these are the fingerings that I use personally. If u can use them, great.  If you come up with your own, that's great too.  Any questions feel free to ask me.

Wow...you worked hard on this. I know people are going to be blessed but most of all God is going to bless you back.    

Thank you,
Joy

[playhear]

wow

[T-Block]

It was kinda hard cuz usually I just play and not really give much thought on what fingers I use.  For this one I just played a chord naturally, then looked at what fingers I used.  I really do hope everybody is finding this helpful.  I sure wish someone had a post like this when I was a beginner.

[michaeln]

I've been offline for about a week, and then return to be blessed like.  May GOD continue to add blessing to your ministry, and your house.

Thanks T-Block!

I have been looking for an easy organized way to learn inversions n stuff. Please know that you are appreciated and that God is truly blessing you and I hope that he continues blessing you and your ministry! Thanx again

Like I said at the beginning, these are the fingerings that I use personally. If u can use them, great.  If you come up with your own, that's great too.  Any questions feel free to ask me.

What's the best way to memorize the different keys: It's a lot & it gets discouraging - Is their a fun way & exciting way to learn each one by putting it to use with a gopel song that consist of each key, but not hard song starting off - just something to help us, beginners get familar with each key. Thanks a lot for the post of keys. Be Blessed

The best way to get familiar with these is to go through each one and practice it until it becomes second nature.  Once you get familiar with it, you will notice that your fingers will automatically start moving where they need to go.  

Another way is to practice those progressions in every key using these fingerings.  So, just put this post together along with the posts I did on basic and more advanced progressions and you should see a difference in a short period of time.
