I’m trying to learn why and what makes up a chord and I’m still lost on some of it. I know that 1, 3, and 5 of notes in a scale make up a chord. I was reading about moveable chords and the book said if you move it up it forms a sharp or a new chord. For example, the D chord ( xx0232 ) can be moved down one fret and form a D# or an Eb. But the book also said not to sound the open stings because it will not necessarily give you the appropriate notes for the chord. In that case, if I was to move the D chord up two frets to form an E chord ( xxx454 ) wouldn’t that be consider a B (min, m, dim, etc??) chord because the root note is note a d note anymore or an e note but a b note because the open string that was once struck with the d chord is now gone because of the new position of two frets up? Please help! :confused:
