Initial observations on guitar chords (will consolidate in new post): the base note is the tonic. The third is crucial for major / minor distinction but often ommitted in the lower octave of a standard (two octave range chord). The interval between all strings except G/B is a perfect 4th. A major third is one semitone less than a perfect 4th, hence the recurring pattern of the third finger one fret closer to the guitar body compared to the index finger. (similarly with the minor third pattern in the mediant/dominant of major chords and tonic/mediant of minor chords.
Plan: learn notes. Learn chords. Consolidate types of chords (base note differences, 7s, sustained) Practice chords. Practice strumming and strumming patterns.
