Beautiful E Sansula Tuning - The F#m Chord

Here is the notation for the F#m chord. You can play these notes together or separately. The note names are written on each tine, but just play the blue-dot numbered tined. The numbers correspond to the role of the note in the chord (i.e., 1 = root, then the 3rd and 5th). The lines connecting the blue dots suggest patterns, or connectedness for left or right hands.

Why learn chords? Well, chords are just another way of saying that "these notes all sound great together" - it is a shortcut to creating melodies. You can also try adding in one or two other notes and see how they sound. We'll do that a bit later, but go ahead and experiment.

Listen to the F#m (F sharp minor) chord
