umm do you meen g sharp minor

cos unless this is an inversion, the chord you are playing is not g sharp minor

u could just play the bar chord version on the 4 th fret

eg

-4-
-4-
-4-
-6-
-6-
-4-

or

-11-
-12-
-13-
-13-
-11-

Being a long-time barre chord addict, I personally would take that approach. However, I suppose it's best to work on the other position and train that pinky.

Which = G# minor.


theory nerd :D

inversions are other ways of holding a chord...so instead of holding the chord i showed initially, i can hold a G#minor another way,say the bar chord at the 4th fret

By your definition "normally the root note of a chord is the deepest sounding note, an inversion uses a different note from the same chord as the deepest sounding note." a G# minor barre on the 4th fret would'nt be an inversion because the deepest sounding note is still a G#

It can be if you don't play the 6th string. Only strum strings 5 through 1. This way the deepest note is a D#.

This chord sounds like crap to me anyway.
