Learn to play guitar : For beginners

Chords Are An Important Part InLearning To Play The Guitar

Hello,

There are 7 main chords you must learn in order to play the 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.

  1. This is truly one of the best blog that I ever read because it had tips on how to play guitar chords. It's really important to learn all of these in order to become a good guitar player. Next time I do hope that there are also some tips for the other music instrument like on how to play bass guitar, anyway thanks for the information.
