Hi everyone,
I need a fingering for C# minor chord, mainly for progressing in E --
I - iv - IV - V - I for example.
A C# m chord that is easy to move from the basic E, A, B (B7) chords is confusing this newbie.
Anyone help?????? :?
Thanks

Well, if you can't make it, stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive, if you can, and meet me in a dream of this hard land.
In the key of E, you can often substitute C#m7 for C#m without losing anything. Since C#m7 has both E and B notes in it, it's easy to play like this:
E - open
B - open
G - sixth fret
D - sixth fret
A - fourth fret
E - don't play
Hope this helps.
Peace
If you're playing open position, you could try this:

It's the same as the open A maj 7, but without the A note. A lot of chords are closely related... C#m = C#-E-G#; Amaj7 = A-C#-E-G#. If you're going to stay on the chord for a while, you'll probably want to use a form like either of the two above - so you get the C# in the bass - but for a quick transition, this might be easier (or even just the substitution of an Amaj7 for C#m!)
