Learning guitar can often seem slow and frustrating if you’re just starting out. I know from my own experience that you’ll be eager to make progress quickly and start playing songs as soon as possible – after all, that’s the whole reason for learning guitar!

So I’ve put together this short guide that will help you learn some of the easiest guitar chords and apply them to playing songs straight away.
Purpose of this guide: Help you learn beginner chords fast
Get you playing some popular songs straight away

Your First Three Guitar Chords
The following chords: A-major, D-major, and E-major (also known as just A, D & E chords) are some of the easiest chords for beginners to play so we’ll start here.

They also sound really good together, and form the basis of hundreds of popular songs so you can get.

The A, D and E chords are known as “Open” chords. Playing an “open” string or note simply means that you play the string without pressing down on (“fretting”) the string.

Open chords are simply chords where one or more strings are played open. This makes open chords really easy to play for beginners, as there are fewer strings to press down.
