I once heard of a famous and very talented guitarist that learned his chords by going through a book of several hundred chord shapes once a day as fast as he could.

So I bought the same book and went though the chord shapes once a day for a couple of months.

Well, I did get really good at most of those chords but found out I did not have the least bit of knowledge on how to use them in anything that sounded like a song.

Get these Basic guitar chords down and you'll have a great start.

The best way that I found to learn new chords is first to realize, if you are a beginning guitarist is that it hurts to grow calluses. Everyone goes through it.

Now to get the basic guitar chords down put one finger down at a time and check for buzzing, if it buzzes it's not right. Make small adjustments in your finger placement so that it works.

Now once you have got to the place where the chord is not buzzing, raise your fingers off the fretboard and place them slowly into place, Keep doing that until you are confident that your can grab a chord quickly.

You are building memory in your nervous system and that works best if you move slowly and as relaxed as you can.

As soon as you get one chord down, go to the next chord in the chord progression until you get them all.

After that turn on your metronome and move between the chords. Rinse and repeat until you know the chord progression.

Here's some simple chord progressions to learn. Just use any rhythm that feels good to you. Refer to the free printable guitar chord chart.

First learn to make each basic guitar chord sound right and then practice slow changes among them two at a time. Use a metronome at first when you are able to change between them without it.

Practice them until they feel smooth and natural to you. Use them to make up a simple song if you like.

If you have a drum machine practice with different rhythms. It's amazing what different rhythms will do for a song.

C | F | G | C

D | G | A | D

G | C | D | G

A | D | E | A

C | Dm | G | C

D | Em | A | D

G | Am | D | G

So go ahead use the free printable guitar chord chart, memorize and learn each basic guitar chord so that it is an automatic reflex you can use without thinking.

Be patient with yourself. I've found what seems to be impossible is possible if you take your movements very slow and relaxed at first and then speed up slowly until they are a lightening fast reflex.

Have a great time with these, This is only the very beginning. These may seem very simple but remember, hundreds of hits songs were made from only three chords.
