Once the basic guitar chords are mastered – it only takes 10 to 15 – you will be able to play many of your favorite songs. The chords are what the background of most songs consist of and are what provide the accompaniment for other instruments. What is a chord? This is when three or more musical notes are played together.

Three strings are strummed on the guitar if the chord you are playing has three notes. The most that can be played on a guitar when playing notes to make a chord is six – the number of strings on the guitar. The chords consist of three groups. Seventh, Minor and Major are unique because they each have their own feel. The Seventh chords have more of an unaccented beat, the Major chords are constant and the Minor chords are lonesome.

There is no standard number of chords that everyone can agree on but the general feeling is there are 8 to 18 chords that anyone who is going to play guitar should know. These chords should be the first ones you learn because they are used in basically everything you will be playing. When you learn these chords you can play rock, country or jazz and enjoy learning many songs.

Ok, what are the basic chords? The must learn ones for beginners are the minor and major chords of E,A,D and C and G major chords. The way these chords are played is by at least one string in the chord not being pressed down. This is called an open chord. Frets are what you do when the fingers on your left hand hold the strings down and the right hand strums the chord.

When the beginner starts learning to play guitar open chords are the easiest. The ones considered to be basic chords are G, F, E Minor, E, D Minor, D, C, A Minor and A. The best way to know where your fingers are supposed to go is by using a guitar chords chart. The beginning guitarist often teaches himself to play using this method.

One of the most used methods of teaching the chords is by families. The family is mixed to play chords that are the basis of many songs that people play today. By learning the chords in this manner the learning is more fun and each one is learned in a sequence. This makes it easier to remember them as they are learned. Learning the families will allow you to learn and play music for yourself faster.

Many songs are based on only three chords. The best way to confuse yourself is to try so many chords that you will never learn them. If you want to start playing soon, the easy chords are the ones you want to concentrate on first for the first time guitar player. There are places that have more than 2000 chords and trying to learn all of these is just a waste of time for the player who is just learning as well as those who know how to play.

If you want to play songs in just a few days too many chords would not allow you to do this. The basic guitar chords chart you will be looking at are the best source of learning where to put your fingers. The fact that they are right where you can look at them any time will let you start playing the music you love right away.
