A basic chord is only three notes in the scale. Barre it, figure out what note you're playing on each string, it's the same three. The only note that gets changed that's in the chord is the third of the scale.

I'd think this would be a pretty typical question, but searching and reading stickies, I haven't seen it answered. I'm getting parts together for a computer. I'm going to be using it to record guitar, violin (with an output), my crappy microphone (working on it), and make songs. What sound card should I get for good recording quality? How much do I have to spend to get something good, and is buying higher priced things worth it? My price range is pretty much whatever's worthwhile, though I don't like spending a lot? I guess I'm not being very helpful here.
