Learn Acoustic Guitar Chords

17th August 2008

 

When you start to learn acoustic guitar, you obviously aren’t going to know the names of the endless possibilities of chords. Have you ever been given a song or piece of music to learn with just the chord names scribbled on a piece of paper? Have you just stumbled upon a new chord and want to know its name or the key etc? Have you ever seen the chords to your favourite song in a book, but when you saw the artist play it, they played it in a different position? Do you just want to find some new chords that actually work?

If you play in a band, I bet that at some time one of your band mates has written a new song and just scrawled the chords on a piece of paper for you to take away and learn. Were you embarrassed to ask how to find G9sus4 or E7flat9?

Did you stumble across a new chord last time you were playing but forgotten it because you didn’t know which name to write down? I’ve been there before, and I know just how frustrating it can be!

How do you feel when you’re trying to follow along a lesson from your latest song book, but they assume that you already know how to find the elusive Faug9. It used to make me feel a little stupid, and I’m sure you’ve felt the same at some point as you start out on your path towards learning acoustic guitar.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just have a handy reference for every chord you’ll ever need, and one that was so simple to look up it would take only a matter of seconds to find each chord? Wouldn’t it be great if it would come categorised by the root note? Wouldn’t it be great if you could also hear the chord in real time on both electric and acoustic guitar, so you can check that you’re playing it correctly?

Well, you guessed it, there is such a thing! I found an excellent interactive chord web site that solves these problems once and for all! It’s a must visit site for all guitarists, especially beginners and will help you immensely as you learn acoustic guitar. It comes with a range of settings, and the chords are grouped by the root, so if you’re looking for all of the variations of the G chord, you can do so with the click of a mouse. This works just as well for all of the other chords – A, B, C, D, E, and F.

“Where do I find this fantastic resource?” I hear you ask. Well, fret no more (pun intended!) budding acoustic guitarist. Simply visit http://www.chordbook.com/guitarchords.php, and never be caught out again.

It’s definitely a great tool to help you learn acoustic guitar chords.
