Chords Level 4 part 2

In the following exercises we will mix the barre chords we learned in level 4, part 1. The first chord uses the chords with the roots on the sixth string while the middle and right column uses the barre chords with the root on the fifth string. This is the most common chord progression in the west. It is the I, IV, V chord progression (F, B♭, C).

After learning the key of F in the first position (first fret) we to move up to the 2nd fret to play in F#. Then the 3rd fret for G etc.

So, starting on fret 1 we have F, B♭, and C. Fret 2 is F#, B, and C etc. as illustrated below:

fret
1 = F B♭ C
2 = F# B C# (G♭ C♭ D♭)
3 = G C D
4 = G# C# D# (A♭ E F)
5 = A D E
6 = A# D# E# (B♭ E♭ F)
7 = B E F#
8 = C F G
9 = C# F# G# (D♭ G♭ A♭)
10 = D G A
11 = D# G# A# (E♭ A♭ B♭)
12 = E A B

The same is true with chords of different qualities i.e. minor, 7, m7, and maj7.

The V7 chord
In the exercises above the quality of the IV and V chords are the same for the sake of learning simply. But, in the real world of music, the V chord is usually, but not always, the  dominant 7 chords, such as C7 in the key of F.

So, use one of these options for the V chord in every exercise:
