E Chord

Ok so by now you probably are sick of playing chords but there is one more chord I want to teach you right now. Its called E. Here it is:

e--------0----------------------------------------------------------------
B--------0----------------------------------------------------------------
G--------1----------------------------------------------------------------
D--------2----------------------------------------------------------------
A--------2----------------------------------------------------------------
E--------0----------------------------------------------------------------

Learning these chords only helps you. Keep at it.

A Chord

Here is a simple a chord:

e------------0-------------------------------------------------------------
B------------2-------------------------------------------------------------
G------------2-------------------------------------------------------------
D------------2-------------------------------------------------------------
A------------0-------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use your first, second and third finger to play the frets. Later on you can simply bar it with your pointer finger. Don't play the open E. Try to block it out with your thumb or you can just try not to hit it. Pay attention to this chord because we will be using it later on.

C chord

Here's the C chord:

e---0
b---1
a---0
d---2
a---3
e---0

D chord

Here's the D chord:

e---2---
b---3---
g---2---
d---0---
a---0---
e---0---
Now make sure you have your thumb up on the side of the neck, close enough for it to deafan the string closest to you. You also want the palm of your hand on the bottom of the neck.

G chord

Here's the G chord:

e-------3---------
b-------0----------
g-------0----------
d-------0---------
a-------2--------
e-------3---------

This chord is also pretty basic, but is a staple in songs. It needs to be learned if you want to play some good songs.

Em Chord

Now that you have learned a song and some notes, its time to learn your first chord. Here is a good chord to start with it is called the Em chord. Here it is tabbed out once:

Em

e--------------------------------0-------------------------------------------

B--------------------------------0-------------------------------------------

G------------------------------- 0-------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------2-------------------------------------------

A--------------------------------2-------------------------------------------

E--------------------------------0-------------------------------------------

The 0's of course stand for open strings. Practice fingering this because it is a very basic chord that needs to be learned.
