http://playguitarnotes.com/beginners/basic-guitar-chords-for-beginners/ Most of the learning guitar is learning chords. For a beginner, there are eight incredibly commonly used chords that form the basis of a lot of modern music. Luckily, these chords are also quite easy compared to some more advanced ones! <br /> <br />First, it is important to know the names of the strings. Low E is the lowest sounding string, followed in ascending order by A, D, G, B, and high E. We will be referring to these strings for chord directions. <br /> <br />The simplest commonly used chord on the guitar is E minor, usually written as Em. Em is a great beginner chord because it only uses two fingers! This chord is comprised of the notes E, B, and G. Since E, B, and G are four of the open strings, we only need to play a B on the second fret of A, and an E on the second fret of D. Simple! <br /> <br />#guitarchords #guitar #beginner
