When you bar the g chord on the 3rd fret with the e form bar, is that called
a g5?

No, that would be a G chord barred on the third fret with an e form. A
G5 would be GDG.

Re: g5

Or just G & D, which is your typical power chord. The ocatve G is
optional.

Re: g5

Robert,

Let's review some basic terminology. A g chord is the g minor chord. A G
chord is a G major chord. A g5 chord would be a g minor chord with an added
fifth. That's G, Bb, D. D is the fifth. This makes it a bit confusing since
the fifth is already a part of the g minor chord so the g5 chord is also the
g chord.
To play a g minor chord using a barre at the 3rd fret put your 4th finger
on the 5th fret of the 4th string, put your 3rd finger on the 5th fret of
the 5 th string, and barre using your 1st finger at the 3rd fret..
It's possible that the g5 means that the arranger wants you to use a g
chord and play the 5 as the bass note, I guess, I'd expect this to written
as g/D, though.

Robert note that the first g chord he mentions here is in lower case (small
g). I'm not sure if you had this information with your reader.

> A G

Here Dave is using a capital G for the G major chord.

> Dave M.

Maybe you can let us know if you already knew that from reading the first
post or not.

Snark.

Dave -
Please reset your newsgroup reader client to accept port
1815: then reboot. Then adjust your flux capacitor so that
incoming ascii characters do not exceed 2.5khz of bandwidth
and/or no greater than 170 uRen per nanosecond of standing
wave rejection coefficient. Hold down [CONTROL] while you're
doing all of that.

Then you should be able to read his Ø5 chord correctly.

Re: g5

Lumpy,

I realize that he might have meant G5 but he hasn't said so I don't know.
He orders a g5 so he gets a g5. Besides imagine the mindless tedium as I
explain that G5 is not just the G major chord but in other context might
mean the G note of the 5th octave. I can't believe that any of you read this
stuff. You know what I'm like so why keep reading.

There is no m5 chord.

A 5 "chord" can't be major or minor, it's just 2 notes.

You've lost me here, how'd you eliminate the 3rd. It's the 3rd that will
dictate whether it's a major or a minor, I think. Why do you think there's
no 3rd.
Also note that having the 1, 3, and 5 makes it a real chord

The whole point of a "5 chord" is that it's just two notes: The one and
the five. Ain't nothin' in there to minorize that puppy.

Yup. They are neither major nor minor, and so you can solo in a major
or minor vein around them and change the timber/character of the whole
composition that way.

And that's sort of why my "root 5, root 6" reference is pretty much a
rock and roll thing...seeing as pretty much only play rock and blues,
everyone I know uses it in the circles I travel.

Re: g5

Stephen,

Sorry, I'm still confused. Is a power "chord" any 2 notes or is it the
root and the fifth? I've heard the term but know nothing of the terminology.
I'm not trying to be silly here but if I wrote G7 would you assume I meant
G and F, as a power chord rather than G, B, D, F, as the dom. 7th chord
