Grammar of guitar:

C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

C scale (neglecting sharp notes):

C D E F G A B C
2 2 1 2 2 2 1

Transposition of chords:

Example-1:

Hotel California (intro):

Original chords:

Bm F# A E G D Em F#

Subtract 2 from each to get transposed in lower scale:

Am E G D F C Dm E

Following this mathematics, we can easily scale up or down any chord-

pattern. This can make playing easy, keeping the song undistorted in terms
of melody.
