Chords
The major 6th chord (eg. E6) is based on the major triad. Once you have built the major triad from the major scale you add on the major 6th. If we are using E as an example this note would be C#. The E6 chord would therefore be E G# B C#. Here is the chord in tab…
The dominant 7th chord (eg. D7) is based on the major triad. Once you have built the major triad from the major scale, you add on the flat 7th. If we are using D as an example this note would be C. This is because C# is the major 7th of D Major and so the flat 7th would be C. The D7 chord would therefore be D F# A C. Here is the chord in tab…

To do a run on a chord is very simple. It adds a rather unique beat to a song. Run on chords are great when you are accompanied by a piano or even just a solo. All you are doing is hitting a series of three notes in between chord changes.
Guitar slash chords are basic open chords, which are made fuller by adding a different root note (ie. the lowest note in a chord). For example, if you played the C chord and wanted G as your root note, it would be called C/G. This is a slash chord. The first letter is the chord you play and the second letter is the root note.
Sus chords (which is short for suspended) replace the third of a chord with another scale degree. For example, a C major chord, C-E-G, becomes a Csus2 by replacing the third, E, with the second, D (to form C-D-G). Because the third determines the major or minor quality of a chord, sus chords are neither major or minor.
All chords are based on triads, and that is why they are so important. A triad is a group of 3 notes which can be major or minor.
