Sorry, Michael, I don't follow where the C comes from at the 2nd fret.

Hi Pete,
Not C.... C sharp > B string up two frets
High bass G tuning >GBDGBD ....go up two frets becomes AC#EAC#E ....just play the bottom 4 strings and leave the G open... so it is AC#EG, which is A minor. I use it a lot when I play in E minor and A minor
Also BD is a minor, so moving up the fretboard using 2 string chords, there is a minor at every fret, but that only really works when you are not playing solo.
Shine On Michael

I really don't want to sound like a smartypants but wouldn't it have to have a flattened third to be A minor? i.e C natural rather than C sharp? Doesn't the C sharp make it an A major?

Oops..... I meant A7th!!!!! Well spotted Pete. You are a smarty pants and you are right. The G is the 7th. How did I go off on that one. Darn drugs :-( Ah well.... We all make mistakes occasionally,
Shine On Michael

Bm: bar on 4th fret covering strings 6 through 4. Strum only strings 4 through 1. Gm: bar on 4th string at 8th fret. Pluck strings 4, 3, and 1.
Also rather than faking with a 1 and 5 straight bar chord omitting the 3, try placing the bar one fret above the 5 chord, and playing strings 5, 4, 2, and 1. In the key of E, the 5 chord B is at fret 4. At fret 5 you have on strings 5, 4, 2, and 1, the tonic, the flatted 3rd, the tonic, and the flatted 3rd of E the chord.
Michael Messer. I don't get your minor. All I see is A dominant 7.

Oops - I was 3 minutes late in identifying the A7.

I 'd forgotten the Bm with the partial bar at fret 4. You can pluck all the strings except the 5th - that's how Jerry does "Hymn of Ordinary Motion", of course. I agree that Em works, and thanks for the suggestion. I'm sure I'll be able to use it but it sounds odd to me without the 5 note in there so I wouldn't fancy doing it if it was only me playing.

LouisianaGrey: I rediscovered and used that Em shape at the fret above the 5 chord fret when I needed to play a root (Em) riff, and then immediately and rapidly move to the major 5 chord (B). Playing outside of familiar straight bar positions is sometimes necessitated by what precedes and what follows.

Hope to make a short video on playing in minor keys on Spanish (G) Tuning, watch this space Yes, I have made one but there is a much more professional video on You Tube called `How to Play Slide Guitar Over Songs with Minor Chords` The maker does it in Open `D` but he is much better in front of the camera. PT I will post it on a new thread, called `Playing Minor Slide Chords in open G`

For those of you who don`t want to wait (it is still up-loading? downloading?) My main thing is this... The Chord of Gmin7th is BflatMajor with a G added, so if someone is playing a strong G somewhere close, then you can play a Bflat chord and it will sound as if you are playing a Gmin. So you can play along with another guitar strumming a Gmin 12 bar by playing Bflat Eflat and F......The G,C and D of the 12bar turn the chord into Gmin Cmin and Dmin. PT Someone`s coming round to help me post the video tomorrow (Thursday Oct 29) hope to post it then........
