Step 1
Barre the seventh fret of the guitar with your forefinger. To perform a barre, lay your forefinger down across the seventh fret of every string. The barre will cover the notes B and A, which are the first and flat seventh degrees of the B-major scale.

Step 2
Place your middle finger on the eighth fret of the fifth string (A string). This note is F, the flat fifth degree of the B-major scale. This note is the reason this chord sounds so incredibly dissonant.

Step 3
Place your ring finger on the eighth fret of the third string (G string). This is the note D sharp, the third degree of the B-major scale.
-
Step 4
Hold down the tenth fret of the second string (B string), using your pinky. This is the note A, the flat seventh degree of the B-major scale.
-
Step 5
Strum the chord. Using a pick or your fingers, play all of the notes in one sweeping motion. That's it. You now know how to play a B Dominant 7/6 Flat fifth chord on the guitar!
