no 3rd

Again based on the open D shape this one has no third but is an easy shape to grab and moves around the neck well. Just be aware that it may not sound exactly like you want it to without the thrid note.

This moveable shape mimics the open D chord with the root on the 2nd string. As you can see there's no 3rd so it can be used for major or minor but is really neither.

This is a useful shape because it's easy to grab and with the tonic so prominent there's no ambiguity when it comes to the chord changes but without the 3rd it lacks the fullness of a major or a minor chord. In this case it's in the 3rd position so it's a Bb chord.

Again no 3rd note so it can be used for major or minor but look for a better option if you can find it.

The classic 3 string barre chord with no 3rd so ca be played inplace of either a major or a minor, trouble is that while it can be used for either and the end of the day without the 3rd note it's neither major or minor.
