I understand chords a little better now. The other explanations of this left me in a fog. I even checked this out on an ukulele, and it’s the same there.
This is great, thanks. So, for the classically trained, chords are essentially the same as the corresponding arpeggio... I feel like I should have made that connection a long time ago!
Hmm. You've gone to a lot of trouble to make all these charts and stuff, and that is an interesting way to think about it. I'm coming from the banjo world and just beginning on the fiddle, but what no one in the fiddle world seems to understand is that I need CLOSED chords to chop on. If I'm trying to use an open string in my chop, I'm not going to have any way of stopping that string from ringing. There's a point I see made by many fiddle people--not you, but just about everybody else--when talking about how to play a double stop and call it a chord (which, of course, it is not and cannot be) is that any two of the three notes in the major chords is okay to use. I don't see how that can be--for instance, if you're trying to chop against somebody playing the I chord, the tonic and third together sounds way different from the tonic and fifth together, and the third and fifth together doesn't sound anything thing like the I chord. Does anybody actually play a third-fifth as the I chord?? Maybe by "any two of the three notes in the chord," what those people really mean is "the bottom note and then either the third above it or the fifth above it, depending on..." whatever choosing one over the other depends on. Maybe it's a question of convenient fingering. Well, as I say, I'm just trying to learn a few tunes to play while I'm out hiking and camping, I probably won't be playing with other people that much, so maybe it's a moot point. Thank you for the excellent video here, though.

This was vey helpful and I was wondering if you can do a chord chart with the 4th finger? I am very new at this
Great tutorial!
Thanks so much for watching 🎻 ( and for your nice comment😉)
This is excellent
Thanks for the info. Would be greatly appreciate if you able to demonstrate few codes to get a handle of it thanks
Oh sure is there anything in particular you would like me to address that was a little tricky understanding- happy to help anyway I can 👍

My friend Sam Muir says chords are arpeggios.
