Bb minor (Hijaz scale) use with C and f minor

In general, play chords in “open” position with fingers 1 & 3 and chords in “close” position with fingers 1 & 2 Chords in blue are used less often and derive from the 2 notes on strings 3 & 4 that could be heard as intervals in two different 3-note chords (or “triads”). For instance, the interval defined by the notes C and E can be found both in the C major triad and the a minor triad. Pairing these open-tuning chords with a second guitar playing the standard-tuning chords often produces a pleasing effect. Most of the chords illustrated here are played on the 3rd & 4th strings. However, note that it’s possible to invert the fingering above and play the chords on strings 1 and 2., as shown below: V
