Where to start
Learn Em, Am, C, G and D first and you can play a lot of songs. Then add E, A and Dm, and move on to barre chords like F and Bm last. To practice switching between two chords, count your changes with the one-minute changes tool so you can see the progress.
Questions
- How do I read the numbers? From left to right they are the frets for the 6th (thickest) string down to the 1st. 0 is an open string and x means don't play that string.
- I can't play the F chord F is a barre chord: your index finger presses all six strings at the 1st fret. Start with Fmaj7 (xx3210) instead.
- Can I see other shapes? The chord finder shows several shapes for each chord, higher up the neck too.
