Guitar Forum > Comments and Suggestions > F minor missing

The most common position for F minor is missing. The position I refer to is (string:fret):

e:1
B:1
G:1
D:3
A:3
E:1

The sheet that is closer to this is the one with the E muted, but I need the one I previuosly described exactly.

Also, I found that that some other positions are missing for some other chords. I would think, at this point, that a javascript\java\php application that let the user builds his own chords would be very useful

I noticed that the position I refer to in the previous post is classified as "Gm" (i found it under Gm) wich is completely and totally wrong. That position is a Fm

If I look at a Emaj and Fmaj right next to each other:

E        F
e:0     e:1
B:0     B:1
G:1     G:2
D:2     D:3
A:2     A:3
E:0     E:1

the assumption is that Fm should be a fret down from Em eg.

Em     Fm
e:0     e:1
B:0     B:1
G:0     G:1
D:2     D:3
A:2     A:3
E:0     E:1

I'll look into it and see what I can do.

Yup, you are right. The chord for Fm looks a lot like the one for Gm, except Gm is played from the 3rd fret, not the first. I have managed to fix it up. Let me know of any other oddities
