1Maj$3 · $1-5-3 Voicings

A $ after a chord lists its members from the bottom up.

  • $3 puts the third in the bass, with the other members above it.
  • A longer list spreads or doubles members: $1-5-3, $1-1-3-5.
  • ' lifts a member an octave.
  • Naming a member the chord does not have makes it unplayable.
