B Minor Chord on Cello
Play B Minor on Cello: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The B Minor chord is a darker, melancholic minor triad that anchors countless songs. It is built from the notes B, D, F#. This page shows how to play B Minor on Cello with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The lowest shape sits in position 11 and spans 4 positions, with no open strings in it. B falls on the C string. It sounds from B2 up to B4.
Cello is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on B or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
