expecting great suggestions from some pros.

 

hey i aint a pro but i can tell ya that now with these u can learn many more chords which aint hard. Try learning the barre chord formation of every chord.
It will really help ya

guys please reply

 

Learn as many as you require for the purpose of playing songs you like.

 

well that was good advice(NOT)

 

is there anyone who can help me? u guys treat newbies rather badly.lord neo starts a bull thread(whats the weirdest thing u have eaten) and u all join in. but for newbies like me u just dont read it and this aint the first time

 

Buddy, learn all the major and minor chords first. Don't worry, they are related to each other, so if you know how to hold one, you will also know how to hold others
i.e.
this F maj in barre form
e..1
B..1
G..2
D..3
A..3
E..1

so
F#Maj ud be half step ahead
i.e.
e..2
B..2
G..3
D..4
A..4
E..2
and so on
When you feel comfortable with those, then only, try to learn chords like 7th 9th or add chords etc.

 

cumming soon chill bro all of us here at IGT wanna help people. You should check the chords in the songs u want to play and if u dont know the chords..learn em
Aint too hard aite?
About strumming pattern - bro i cudnt figure it out ..i told faraz to mail it to us.

 

any advice

 

guys please some suggestions

 

Learn barre chords first

Then learn all the major and minor chords

 

Learn all Major and Minor chords at open positions on the guitar i.e within the first 5 frets. That's enough to play most of the songs.
Don't bother about m7th or M7th chords as they are similar to the root chord and has an additional note which you could ignore.

After completion of Major and Minor chords take Seventh chords as a lesson.

I would suggest you learn according to theory even if you are playing just as your hobby, memorise the chord pattern but also understand why that chord has those 3 selected notes
For ex: C chord notes would be C E G. You need to know why Ctriad has only C E G as the notes i.e because the traid formation for a major is 1 3 5 notes of the major scale.
Barre chords not a must, it's hard to practice Barre chords initially so ignore them for now until you learn open chords on the guitar.

 

i recommend barre chord practice alot. There are alot of chords in which the barre chord is a must. It'll take time but its worth it.

 

hy les carlo will i have to take lessons for what all u said? sounded a bit complicated to me .can u just give me the names of chords that i should learn
