If you’re new to guitar, learning some basic chords will help get your journey underway quickly and allow you to begin picking up songs faster. Not only will these chords enable you to play more music; they will also enable you to learn tablature reading more efficiently.
One of the first chords you should learn is A major, as this fundamental chord can be found in songs across genres and styles. Practice playing it alongside other commonly used chords until it becomes second nature to your fingers.
An ideal chord for beginner guitarists to learn is the open D major chord, often found in rock and punk music. To play this chord, place your index finger on the second fret of E string and your ring finger on third fret of G string and strumming all six strings at once while keeping in sync with your tempo.
