Guitar Chords – Free Guitar Lessons

There are tons of different guitar chords, however if you’re just starting out there are only a handful that you need to be concerned with. If that’s you, I’d recommend starting with these 6: G, C, D, Am, Bm, Em. With those six chords you can play literally hundreds of songs – enough to keep you busy until you’re comfortable to move on!

If you’re brand new to guitar and want to learn your first chords, check out our Beginner Guitar Chords section – it’s designed specifically for new players who want to get started making music right away.

If you’re a bit more advanced, then you’ll either want to add the other common chords like E, A and so forth, or you’ll be looking for embellishments and some of the lesser used chords, like B9 or B7, and others of that sort!

Also if you want to further into chords you can use all over the neck and in your solos, checkout our lessons on Guitar Triads.
