Play Guitar - Chords

There are 7 main chords you must learn in order to play guitar. They are A, B, C, D, E, F & G.

Today we'll just cover A, B and C.
Later on we'll cover D, E F & G.

Let's represent each finger with a number. So in the following diagrams of chords, place each number on the appropriate strings as shown below.
Once you place your fingers in the spots as shown, brush down on the strings near the sound hole or the body.
Can you hear every string? Are they ringing clearly or are they are muffled mess? If it sounds jumbled, adjust your fingers so they press down correctly.
Side Note: The "o" represented in the diagram means that the string is to be played OPEN. Whereas the "x" means not to play the string at all. I.e. mute it, or try not to strike it when you are strumming the chord.

All it takes, is to learn one song and you too will find it Easy To Learn Guitar and the reason for this is because you will understand how the song actually is pieced together.

Like most people who are first interested in wanting to play, learn guitar I was first taught how to tune the guitar and then learn the notes on the neck and then how to group the notes to play chords. Although all of these are fundamental on your journey to play guitar, I still didn't initially find it easy to learn guitar untill one day an old Brazilian friend who took it upon himself to tutor the basics to me showed me how to play "Stand By Me".

This is a 4 chord song played throughout except for 1 variation of the chord progression. The Penny dropped! I discovered that you can literally play hundreds if not thousands of songs just by changing the chords around. What an exciting time that was for me as this was the real start of my guitar songwriting journey. Try it for yourself. If you want to learn Electric guitar or learn acoustic guitar, it makes no difference.
