New Chord Wednesday - C#m - x42400
(pssst! I saw Cory Asbury use this chord while playing Reckless Love so you pretty much have to try it out.)
Bar chords have their place but there's just something special about a nice open chord.
The problem is when it comes to a C#m it seems like you have to play a bar chord (x46654). Bar chords, by nature result in a thinner sound.
So when you're playing in the key of E you hit these nice big open sounding E (022100), A (x02220), and B (x24400) chords and you're left with a thin C#m (x46654).
Let me introduce you to - C#m (x42400).
This chord sounds nice and full and matches well with the other open sounding chords in the key of E. It's also more accessible than that grotesque bar chord version.
Give it a try today!
