Harmonic field of F# major on guitar

F# major: F# – G# – A# – B – C# – D# – E#. In the shapes below, the tonic opens with the bass on F#. 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.
