Basic Guitar Chords


Starting With The Basics

On this page we will learn about basic guitar chords in there open position on the guitar neck.

Down below you will find chord diagrams showing you how to finger the chords as well as an audio example so you can hear what each chord sounds like.

For beginners it's good to learn these basic chords first.

I will introduce you to the chords found in the key of C major in this lesson, which includes major chords, minor chords, and a diminished chord.

Practice these chords until you can change from one chord to the next smoothly and efficiently.
