Easy Guitar Chords

Basic Major Chords (M)

Major chords are the base from which most guitar songs are built.
If you notice the A Chord has two 2's and a three. This is the way I play the chord. I have not seen anyone else play it this way. Try it. I find it much easier to change to and from this chord if I play it this way. Fitting three fingers across one fret side by side is very cramped. You can use any fingering you like, just make sure its easiest for you. You don't want to learn a chord and later find that you have to change the way you play it because you can't change out of it quickly. The G chord is the same. Some people play it using fingers 1, 2 and three. It is very hard to change from c to g if you use that method.

Easy Minor Chords (m)

Minor Chords make a mournful sounding song. The kind of song 'The Verve' would play.
Try this combination of chords. I've left out the Gsus Chord because it's a hard chord. It has been substituted with plain old G. The timing is up to you. Just start to sing it and you'll understand where to change chords. Or, you can count them out.

C C C  C  Am  Am Am  Am  Em  Em F F G G  C C

Can you feel the sorrow in these minor chords?

Easy 7th Chords

7th chords are are used to create suspense. Try going from G7 to C. It's a very easy chord change even for a beginner. You can hear that the G7 chord is missing something. It makes you want to get to the C chord as soon as you can to complete the sound.
