You don’t have to learn all guitar-related concepts in the first hour of your guitar training, and you certainly don’t have to learn each of them in the order listed below. It’s just a matter of picking the ones you like best. Here are the major guitar chords you’ll need immediately.
The First Chord
Most guitar players get their start with the root note of their root chord, which is the 1st fret (on a guitar). If you look at a key signature guitar fretboard (shown in the picture below), you’ll notice that each note has three adjacent notes — C, A and D. The 5th, 9th, 16th, and 22nd frets are also located on the fretboard’s 4th string (A).
There are dozens of other guitar symbols you can use to mark the different parts of your guitar’s fingerboard. But I’ll cover them in this lesson.
One thing you’ll probably want to learn in your first hour of guitar training is to recognize when you’re playing the notes in that major chord. If you play the 3rd, 7th, or 15th fret, you’re probably playing a major chord, and that’s when I’d recommend you learn those fundamental chords. The chord that you play when you’ve got the notes “flat” without a 4th interval may be the type of chord you’ll be using almost every day by the end of your first year of guitar education.
The Major Pentatonic Chord
The pentatonic chord is the first major chord you’ll learn. As you mentioned earlier, that 1st fret is located in E, which is the major (dominant) chord. You probably recognize the shape as the 4/5th-note chord (with 3 and 7 being the “5th” and 5 being the “6th” of the 4th string); it’s a pretty standard shape you’ll be using by the end of your first year of guitar training. If not, you’ll probably figure it out.
Learning the major pentatonic (MPC) shape gives you an easy way to start a solo and make sense of a chord progression — if you do a solo. However, it also allows you to develop some skills (like figuring out where the notes for the 2nd and 2nd chords are in a minor pentatonic shape) and add some tension to a piece that would otherwise feel quite easy.
