Chord & FretHarmonic field of B minor on guitar
B minor: B – C# – D – E – F# – G – A. In the shapes below, the tonic opens with the bass on B. On the guitar, six strings give the chord room to breathe — some positions use them all, others ask you to mute the lowest ones. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
This is the natural-minor field. In practice the v often becomes V (major) or V7 — borrowed from the harmonic minor — to create the leading tone that pulls back to the tonic.
These are the first positions of every degree of B minor on guitar. In Chord & Fret, the Circle of Fifths opens the full field — every degree with all its positions, audio and the key's secondary dominants. Open in Chord & Fret →
