The core building blocks of learning guitar

Learning guitar is built on a few core elements. At the most basic level, it comes down to chords and songs.

Chords

Start here

You can both find the chords here in these pages, and in the app, where you also can play them and get feedback on your playing.

Most songs are built from a small number of common chords. Learning how to play chords cleanly, switch between them smoothly, and recognize how they’re used is one of the first steps for every guitarist.

Here you’ll learn:

  • Open chords for beginners
  • Proper finger placement
  • How to avoid buzzing or muted strings
  • How to move between chords

You can explore individual chord guides here on our site, including step-by-step explanations and practice tips.
