Top tip: know the A, Am, A7, E, Em, E7 shapes, understand the CAGED system (the concept of root notes), memorize the notes on the low E and A string and you have yourself 20-30 chords at your disposal.
tony montana yeah, you eventually get to a slightly higher than intermediate level and you would have to break off of the caged system. But as far as understanding the neck of the guitar in a beginner level, CAGED is very helpful.
Nate is a great teacher. I am 71 and have played as a hack amateur for 57 years. I have no real Oldtimer memory problems but wanted to Refresh my memory and remember "tricks" I had forgotten. Nate is great because does not come on super-cool / has a great clear speaking voice / makes it easy to take-in and to follow. Excellent. I just "Subscribed."
I’m 696 years old weighing 200lbs of pure muscle and learning these 20 must know chords has cured my erectile dysfunction, arthritis and scared my testicular cancer into remission
I'd love to see a reference chart that not only showed fingered placement but also how that same note looks on standard sheet music and in tab notation. Would be a great learning / reference tool
Ive been playing guitar for about a year and a half, pretty much every single day and I stumbled upon this video. Was able to play every single chord with no troubles. Practice makes perfect!
Open C Major Chord. [00:37] Open A Major Chord. [00:56] Open G Major Chord. [01:16] Open A Minor Chord. [01:47] F Major Bar Chord. [02:18] G Minor Bar Chord E Shape. [03:01] B Major Bar Chord A Shape. [03:33] Open A7 Chord. [04:56]
Been learning chords for about a month now and just wanted to say that this video REALLY helps me. I always go back and reference these and I’ve really improved thanks to you. Thank you a bunch :)
@Ethan Richardson you aint wrong but if you busk unplugged open chords are way louder and useful, +easier on fingers if you have to play for 2+h so theres benefits to being a zombie too 😂
Thanks for your clear, relaxed presentation. Makes me realize I've gotten somewhere with my guitar playing that I know most of these. Much appreciated.
Thank you, this has been so helpful.I've only been playing less than a year and I do take in person lessons. Your descriptions and finger placements ..watching..being able to pause and go back...has helped me in learning chords!!😊🎸
Just wanted to thank you and let you know your tips helped me over the last six months tremendously. Especially the tip of just having a guitar where u sit in your house. You get the urge its right there. I went thru the bloody finger thing as a teen and picking it back up after service. Thank you
Maj7 chords are some of my favorites. Cmaj7, Amaj7, and Fmaj7 are really easy and pop up a lot. They’re worth learning as a beginner, at least before augmented or diminished chords.
This video is the most useful for beginners, I,ve seen so far, easy to follow with the diagrams. I suggested my grand-daughter (13) to view it many times. Thanks for uploading this .
I’ve had a guitar for about 2 years now. I never really got hooked on it because it looked so complicated (even though that’s the reason I wanted to play it). I’m finally catching on to it and this video is one of the reasons. Thanks for the great tips and showing other people how to play chords on the guitar :))
Ive found 'hanging out with my guitar' really helps! Even if it is for just a few minutes every day. I am not a 'natural' but my friends tell me i'm getting better😂 good luck!
I don't think it matters how many Chords a guitarist knows but it's how they take the chords and use them to their advantage. If you know a few simple chords you can still play a lot of songs.
But if you take them simple chords and play then with a barre you can then explore the fret board and make something way more interesting but you are still pretty much using those same chords you have already learnt.
You can play the E7 chord by playing a regular E Maj chord and also fretting the third fret on the B string as well. If you voice it like that it leads better to the A Maj / Minor chord. Then both the tension notes in the E7 chord resolve correctly.
I think its best for a beginner to learn the I ii iii IV V vi chords (Nashville numbering) in four keys. A capo gets you to many other keys. Key of Cmaj C Dm Em F G Am Key of Gmaj G Am Bm C D Em Key of Dmaj D Em F#m G A Bm Key of Amaj A Bm C#m D E F#m That's 4 keys in only 12 chords - none have to be barre chords if you learn a 4 string Fmaj, F#m and Bm. Then I would add some simple 7 chords - A7, B7, C7, D7, E7, G7 to add some twang to folk or country songs. Next Pick up the Key of E Key of Emaj E F#m G#m A B C#m - only 3 new chords here but the Bmaj chord can be a challenge for beginners and I played B7 as a substitute a lot for a long time.
Why not show how to play B major by barring the D G B strings with one finger. Than with your pointer finger press the root note (B) which is the way i see most people including myself play it
This is just superb, I've been looking for "guitar chords notes for beginners" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fanwen Ziyaria System - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "guitar notes for beginners" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fanwen Ziyaria System - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
I have been trying for a few years on just the chords. I recognized some & can do them .I never had any help showing me so I never got the Barre chords. Thank you for this video it was awesome & I got to finally see the Barre Chords you did & now can practice them & look over & check if I am doing it right thanks to this video
I tried to teach myself guitar once or twice but i could never get passed the finger pain from pressing strings down. Now that I'm learning the piano I'm amazed at how much more mysterious the chords are for guitar. I feel like if I tried to learn guitar now I'd have to translate everything from piano to guitar.
@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 Exactly....electric is the way to go to master the chords and other basic notes and then it's fully transferable to acoustic. You only have to press a little harder on the acoustic but the rest of the technique is the same
This video is so good, by the way you are such an inspiration! You send out some wonderful positive vibes. I really liked that last part with the tick for the hobo!
This lesson is a gateway to a wonderful..addictive..cool hobby of playing guitar...it takes lots of lots of practice...buts its all worth it..playing guitar is always fun...stress reliever.
When I was a pup, the non-barred F chord was hands down the hardest to get right. Even now if I haven't plated for a while it takes me a few minutes to clean it up. :-)
Weird thing, but when I was practicing bar chords I got mad and stopped playing for the afternoon because I was mad, but two days later, I had no problem.
It's happened with me!! Sweet child o mine! I was practicing the solo a lot, but never got it right. So finally I gave up, but a few months later, I randomly tried playing it, and it came out almost perfect! *almost*
People don't think about it but playing the C major with a bar back 1 fret can open up a lot of possibilities. Play it anywhere for any major chord (the D shape is just an abbreviated version of this) and you can "walk" a lot without changing position.
@@girlstalk5secondsofsummer212 I'm 6:4 I have massive hands playing for years using 42 mm but width found picking hard as fingers were bunched together . All good now as use a 44 mm nut width which better spaced strings . If you got tiny hands get a neck that's C shape and 41 mm or 42 nur width .
Em7, the full G, and C2 would probably be the only things i would add to a beginner's guide, the diminished chord I barely use after four years of playing, and I often jam out with the above chords, not to mention anything in key of G will most likely utilise those chords as well as D
I would add the open B7, Bm7. This makes for really easy turn arounds when playing in E. There is a story about the Young Beatles getting into a taxi to go see one of George’s pals that knew how to play this chord shape. Don’t know for sure that it is true, but it is absolutely the sort of thing that guitar players would do before the internet and almost everything you learned was taught to you by one of your buddies, or from playing a track on a record over and over to work out what the groups were playing.
the x33210 FMaj7 was really useful when I was first learning about chords, also a good way to introduce the concept of hooking the thumb over to play on the low e string and can slide it up 4 frets to get a nice shape for AMaj
Personally I play the open A major chord with my second, third, and fourth fingers. Partially because it's easier to fit them all in place, but mostly because it makes the B major chord much easier to adjust to since it's basically just an A bar chord moved up a whole step.
3-finger C chord is wonderful if you will be progressing to a C7. But for some reason, since my former teacher taught me a 4-finger C, that's what I've always used for an even more fuller sound. The trick I was taught is that to use fngers 2, 3 and 4 instead for an A Major because I am still struggling with Barre Chords. I'm really messed up! I was taught a 4-finger G instead. You are an awesome Teacher! I've developed habits. With the D Major, I use fingers 2, 3 and 4. I love your tutorial! You've broken it down to the very basic. I've just subscribed to your channel. God bless you!
Been playing 15 years.. I wish I could go back to the struggle and the joys of looking at the guitar as if it was a piece of the worlds greatest art. I guess some lose that over the years.. Hopefully people don't though.
Why/how do you think you stopped appreciating it like you once did? Do you just feel you’ve learned everything you want to learn and there’s no more achievements or new perspectives on aspects of playing/music in general? I’ve been playing on and off for just over 10 years, and maybe just because I didn’t challenge myself enough in the past or was too self taught, but I still find myself learning new things, discovering new sounds and aspects of sound/tone that can be manipulated and tell stories. Until about a year ago I almost exclusively played covers, mostly simple chord progressions and rhythm guitar parts. But now I almost exclusively write my own music and discovering how to craft a melody and change progressions, rhythm etc has given me a new appreciation for how vast the span of sounds you can create with a guitar (and my voice) is.
Been playing 10 years. Its weird i know a lot of chords just from ear or watching ppl play but dont know a lot of the chord names. I also need work on scales i always free style and learn solos by watching. Scales will probably help with writing songs more
very helpful video. eventho i still know how to play some of the chords but it still help out to play the chords more easily and better than before. i appreciate the alternative bar chords as well bcs not all people are good on playing bar chords. cheers 😎
Nice..Accurate.Right along with you on the diminished chord on strings 1234. It's amazing how moving the whole diminished chord up a minor third that it still a diminished chord , of course notes will be rearranged.
you just have to give it time! it's a slow process, I know how hard it is at first, trust me, soon, you'll be like why did I ever struggle at this hehe
i feel you but ive been playing guitar for like 7 months and every chord mentioned in this video is easy for me, and promise me, im very very very lazy no joke, so keep going :)
Chiefline : When religion is used under the pretense of/ or in place of a proper relationship with God it does appear undesirable . Agreed. But “Invisible Man” ? Whether there is or isn’t a God you don’t expect to find natural proof of a Supernatural being do you ? That would be illogical. Atheism/ denial of God , is just a crutch some people use to avoid their feelings of convictions . To suppress the call of the Spirit. “ If I don’t believe , then it it isn’t real”. There ain’t no ghost 👻 as kids say Often we hear, “ Just because YOU believe it- that doesn’t make it real.” So it works in reverse too. “Just because you DON’T believe it doesn’t make it unreal.” Ok.... wait for it......... “PROVE GOD EXISTS “ With what? Natural senses like sight and hearing, or touch, tastes, and smell are not going to detect any Supernatural Being! It supersedes the natural. Even an eagle 🦅 can see better that humans. Human flesh, our bodies, do not qualify as an efficient test for proving the Supernatural World. Your Mind & Spirit is how you “see” and “ hear” God. If you want to. Go ahead and do what you want as far as believing in God. Just don’t go on believing that humanity has the ability in the flesh with natural senses to detect and determine the existence of the Supernatural World/ and God. Thanks
@Chiefline you do need to work through that anger. The fact that you comment on a reply, bring yourself into a conversation, that had nothing to do with you, nor was it aimed towards you, because you don't agree? That's insanity. I'm an atheist, but I don't understand other atheists views on religion. It's not something that should upset you, who cares what other people believe in? They wanted answers, they found what works for them, you have no right to try and take that away because it doesn't fit what you believe or don't believe.
what an amazing job! I am a percussionist and I have had a guitar for years however, only really knew some chords for some songs and your video makes so much sense now, I can refer back to your video constantly to make perfect sense of the little I know! #subscribed
Very useful and this is what I show my students. I also tell them it took me 2 weeks to do a bar chord. One suggestion - a very common chord in rock and roll is a sus4 which isn't hard to to do - I believe Buddy Holly was one of the earliest rockers to use them
I’ll be honest. I’ve been playing for 10+ years, & I didn’t know some of these chords. I never took the time to mesmerize all of them. Even though I know I played them before whenever I would learn a new song. Thanks for the video.

Top tip: know the A, Am, A7, E, Em, E7 shapes, understand the CAGED system (the concept of root notes), memorize the notes on the low E and A string and you have yourself 20-30 chords at your disposal.

Caged is over rated
But it will help cheat thru the first 5 years. I guess if you don't have a lot of hours yet
tony montana yeah, you eventually get to a slightly higher than intermediate level and you would have to break off of the caged system. But as far as understanding the neck of the guitar in a beginner level, CAGED is very helpful.

I think its best for a beginner to learn the I ii iii IV V vi chords (Nashville numbering) in four keys.
A capo gets you to many other keys.
Key of Cmaj C Dm Em F G Am
Key of Gmaj G Am Bm C D Em
Key of Dmaj D Em F#m G A Bm
Key of Amaj A Bm C#m D E F#m
That's 4 keys in only 12 chords - none have to be barre chords if you learn a 4 string Fmaj, F#m and Bm.
Then I would add some simple 7 chords - A7, B7, C7, D7, E7, G7 to add some twang to folk or country songs.
Next Pick up the Key of E
Key of Emaj E F#m G#m A B C#m - only 3 new chords here but the Bmaj chord can be a challenge for beginners and I played B7 as a substitute a lot for a long time.

Why/how do you think you stopped appreciating it like you once did? Do you just feel you’ve learned everything you want to learn and there’s no more achievements or new perspectives on aspects of playing/music in general? I’ve been playing on and off for just over 10 years, and maybe just because I didn’t challenge myself enough in the past or was too self taught, but I still find myself learning new things, discovering new sounds and aspects of sound/tone that can be manipulated and tell stories.
Until about a year ago I almost exclusively played covers, mostly simple chord progressions and rhythm guitar parts. But now I almost exclusively write my own music and discovering how to craft a melody and change progressions, rhythm etc has given me a new appreciation for how vast the span of sounds you can create with a guitar (and my voice) is.
Im goin to watch this everyday ! Thankyouu!
New to this channel but I'm in love already 😁😁
The 6 Chord is the only one I would have added. Thanks for your work!
When you know how to play the guitar for many years and still watch this video.
I've been playing for almost 4 years now and I'm just learning the basics, power chords got me throught these 4 years lol
Thats the beauty of guitar
Been playing 10 years. Its weird i know a lot of chords just from ear or watching ppl play but dont know a lot of the chord names. I also need work on scales i always free style and learn solos by watching. Scales will probably help with writing songs more
I know these chords and I play guitar using these...But still watching bcoz it feels good😁
@@tylerthescreamofficial98 you lucky bastard😭😭. I wish i had perfect pitch.....
Thank you so much, i have more learn from your chords
God bless you
Purely air guitarist here, but this has helped me know how to look as authentic as possible.
very helpful video. eventho i still know how to play some of the chords but it still help out to play the chords more easily and better than before. i appreciate the alternative bar chords as well bcs not all people are good on playing bar chords. cheers 😎
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand :::::;
Nice..Accurate.Right along with you on the diminished chord on strings 1234. It's amazing how moving the whole diminished chord up a minor third that it still a diminished chord , of course notes will be rearranged.
i spent my all my money on a guitar but every day i have a breakdown cause i can’t get the barre chords :((
you just have to give it time! it's a slow process, I know how hard it is at first, trust me, soon, you'll be like why did I ever struggle at this hehe
Ansh Deo thank you 🥺💖
nour k it took me 4 years lmao but i tried rlly hard for 2 weeks and i’m good at them now, try hard and give it time x
i feel you but ive been playing guitar for like 7 months and every chord mentioned in this video is easy for me, and promise me, im very very very lazy no joke, so keep going :)
freeze ur finger so u wont feel a thing
You have a wonderful and relaxing teaching style!
Dsus4 - used in hundreds of worship songs everywhere, especially using it in combo with a standard D for resolution.
@Chiefline what was the point in your reply? Honestly?
Chiefline : When religion is used under the pretense of/ or in place of a proper relationship with God it does appear undesirable .
Agreed.
But “Invisible Man” ?
Whether there is or isn’t a God you don’t expect to find natural proof of a Supernatural being do you ?
That would be illogical.
Atheism/ denial of God , is just a crutch some people use to avoid their feelings of convictions . To suppress the call of the Spirit.
“ If I don’t believe , then it it isn’t real”.
There ain’t no ghost 👻 as kids say
Often we hear, “ Just because YOU believe it- that doesn’t make it real.”
So it works in reverse too.
“Just because you DON’T believe it doesn’t make it unreal.”
Ok.... wait for it.........
“PROVE GOD EXISTS “
With what? Natural senses like sight and hearing, or touch, tastes, and smell are not going to detect any Supernatural Being!
It supersedes the natural.
Even an eagle 🦅 can see better that humans. Human flesh, our bodies, do not qualify as an efficient test for proving the Supernatural World.
Your Mind & Spirit is how you “see”
and “ hear” God. If you want to.
Go ahead and do what you want as far as believing in God.
Just don’t go on believing that humanity has the ability in the flesh with natural senses to detect and determine the existence of the Supernatural World/ and God.
Thanks
@Chiefline you do need to work through that anger. The fact that you comment on a reply, bring yourself into a conversation, that had nothing to do with you, nor was it aimed towards you, because you don't agree? That's insanity. I'm an atheist, but I don't understand other atheists views on religion. It's not something that should upset you, who cares what other people believe in? They wanted answers, they found what works for them, you have no right to try and take that away because it doesn't fit what you believe or don't believe.
Thank you professor Nate Savage. You are a great teacher more grease to your elbow. I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you.
what an amazing job! I am a percussionist and I have had a guitar for years however, only really knew some chords for some songs and your video makes so much sense now, I can refer back to your video constantly to make perfect sense of the little I know! #subscribed
Thanks the way you teach these cords systematically is very helpful
Very useful and this is what I show my students. I also tell them it took me 2 weeks to do a bar chord. One suggestion - a very common chord in rock and roll is a sus4 which isn't hard to to do - I believe Buddy Holly was one of the earliest rockers to use them
New learner here. Thank you so much
These are all easy . So glad to know I'm a real guitar player 😂😂😂❤ thank you .
Very helpful for begginers
How to scare someone out of learning guitar:
show them this video.
hey brother just wanna say that youre teaching skills are excellent sir
I liked your diminished "Road trippin'" reference lol. RHCP
I’ll be honest. I’ve been playing for 10+ years, & I didn’t know some of these chords. I never took the time to mesmerize all of them. Even though I know I played them before whenever I would learn a new song. Thanks for the video.
Don’t forget cadd9, the *calmest* of all chords.
Thankyou.
When I read " every REAL Guitar player " , I thought he's gonna show some crazy sounding complex chords .
finally a great video to learn some chords..good work guys.
