Chords To Learn For Beginners

 When it comes to playing guitar.  You must learn how to play chords.  It doesn’t matter what style you play or who influenced you to pick up a guitar in the first place.  You must learn to play chords.  In this post we will look at chords to learn for beginners.
Now, when it comes to the awesome instrument that is guitar, there are literally (and I do mean literally) thousands of chords you could learn.  You could actually spend a lifetime learning guitar chords.  Crazy huh?  I know.  But we don’t need to do that.  In fact I’d recommend not doing that.  It’ll take too long and you’ll never get around to playing guitar chords.  Which is the essence of rhythm in any song.
But we do need to start somewhere and learn a few.  In my opinion I’d start with open power chords, move on to closed power chords and then learn the “natural” chord shapes we’ll discuss in this lesson.  If your interested in the other chords I just mentioned, you can click here to learn more.
The reason I like to hold off on the natural chords is because they are a bit harder to form and play properly.  You have to stretch your fingers out more and play on the tips.  Not an easy task when first starting out.  But can be accomplished with discipline and much guided effort.
The chords to learn for beginners are:  G C & D and they look a bit like this:

These chords are written in chord chard fashion where the guitar fretboard is facing up.  The vertical lines represent the guitar strings (biggest to the left) the horizontal lines represent the frets (first 5 frets) the colored dots represent where to put your fingers and the O’s represent strings that are not played.  If you’d like to learn more information on how to read chord charts you can click here.
Best practice is to play on the tips of your fingers like this :

These three natural chords are the best to start with because they are most common in many songs when playing guitar.  And I do mean MANY!!  Like hundreds!! If you learn these three chords and learn how to switch between them, you’ll be able to play at least 50 songs right off the bat.
Well, you will have to develop your strumming and picking hand, but after that, you will.  Now remember, these types of chords are a bit more difficult to learn in the beginning so take your time and don’t get frustrated.  If you practice a little everyday, you will get through the learning curve and be able to play them with ease.

Here are some training tips to help you with forming and playing these types of chords.
step #1. Place fingers on only the three strings indicated on each chord
step #2. Play on the tips of your fingers to get a more clear sound
step #3. Keep from muting (deadening) the other strings that are suppose to be open
step #4. Develop good hand posture.
step #5. Learn in small parts of time to keep the fingers from cramping up.

There are many more but these are just a few to start with.  Once you get these down you can start to develop your strumming.  These kinds of chords can be tricky to learn at first especially if you’ve never played guitar before.  That’s why I recommend the power chords first if you play electric.
If your looking to strum the acoustic, then these natural chords are your best bet.  But remember to have patience and discipline to get the fingers to form them right, move between the chords when strumming and developing a nice clean sound.  If you’d like to see how to get started on the acoustic, you can watch my youtube video here to get some pointers.
