You Want To Learn Guitar Chords? Right Here.


.

Guitar chords are the bread and butter of playing the guitar. If you don’t know guitar chords, then you’re seriously limited in what you can play.

As such, learning guitar chords is the first place you should start if you want to learn to play the guitar.

For beginners, we recommend starting with 6 basic chords: G, C, D, Am, Bm, and Em. The Bm can be tricky, but you don’t have to play it as a bar chord. With these six chords at your disposal, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of popular songs in every genre that you can play.

Another excellent place to start is with power chords. A power chord isn’t technically a true chord, because you need three notes to make a chord, and power chords only have two. But even so, you can use power chords to get by in many situations, and the benefit is that they are really easy to play, and you only need to learn one fingering for all the chords!
