#3 Basic Notes and Chords for the Guitar


Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about basic guitar chords. Well, since there are a numerous number of guitar chords, I'll sort them by their major notes (ex: A chords, G chords, C chords, etc.)

 If you see this hand, there are numbers for each of the fingers. I put these numbers to explain which fingers to put in each flats when you finger the guitar.


The first chords I'm going to show you are the 4 basic A chords. (respectively, A, Am, A7, and AM7)
 This time, it's B chords. B, Bm, B7, BM7. What you have to look closely here are Bm and BM7. The numbers 2 3 4 below means you put your fingers starting on the 2nd flat.

Next, it's the C chords.
Same thing, for Cm, you should start fingering from the 3rd flat.


These are basic D chords: D, Dm, D7, DM7

E chords: E, Em, E7, EM7

Next are F chords, and a lot of people say it is the hardest chord to make a nice sound.
There are F, Fm, F7, Fm7
Finally, it's the G chords. G, Gm, G7, and GM7



These were some basic chords of the guitar. It could be really hard at first. Your hands will hurt, and the sound might be weird. But if you tolerate the pains, you'll get used to them and will later be able to perform really fancy songs.

These are the basic chords so take time and try practicing them. Have a good day everyone :)

  1. Wow,, This post is very thorough and entertaining. After I read the post I feel like I can play it right away. The pictures are really good actually, they help me get better understanding. Unfortunately, I don't have a guitar and I think I should borrow one from you.
