FAQ

In what order should I learn guitar chords?

Start with open chords that use two or three fingers — Em → Am → C → G → D. Once you can switch between those five, add E, A and Dm. Leave barre chords like F and Bm for last; each chord page shows how to play them without a barre.

How do I read a chord chart?

Vertical lines are the strings (the thick 6th string on the left) and horizontal lines are the frets. Black dots show where to press, the thick line at the top is the nut, x means don't play that string and o means play it open.
