Basic Chords  Difficulty 2 of 10 Chords - key of GBy David OToole There's only one barre chord to play in this one, the B minor, so it's an easy enough one to pick up for beginners. Most of the time you won't hear the m7b5 chord being used in songs as it isn't a very strong sounding chord.  Difficulty 2 of 10 Chords - key of DBy David OToole D is a very popular guitar key with simple-to-add D embellishments such as and D sus2 (used in the outro) and Sus4 (covered later). Contains two barre chords.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Chords - key of EBy David OToole E is a popular key and it uses the lowest E note available on a standard tuned guitar, and is a powerful Rock and Blues key standard.  Difficulty 2 of 10 Chords - key of FBy David OToole The key of F is not used as often for guitar because it has a lot of barre chords and not a lot of ringing open string ones. It can be a difficult key for beginners uncomfortable with barre chords.  Difficulty 2 of 10 Chords - key of ABy David OToole A is a very popular guitar key with the 3 main chords A D E - which are easy to play, and all feature the open strings. This gives the key a very full sound on the guitar. There's more songs out there in A than you can shake a stick!  Difficulty 3 of 10 Chords - key of BBy David OToole B is a key that is not used too often on the guitar because of the barre chords - and not too many open chords. |
