Easy- Learn Guitar: Chords

Daq teaches the 7 basic guitar chords examples include : Free Bird, and Good Riddance Hey guys, this is Daq.. sorry about some of the video not being totally clear.. like every ‘you tube-er’ we’re strapped for time on each vid, and that kinda limits us to how much detail we can get into.. so, if there are any questions, please feel free to message or comment us. thanks for watching. (below is a chart for the chords, including finger placement) *KEY* X = omit the string (don’t play it) 0 = open string A Chord: ——-X——— ——-2——— (ring finger) ——-2——— (middle finger) ——-2——— (pointer finger) ——-X——— ——-X——— B Chord: ——-X——— ——-3——— (ring finger) ——-3——— (ring finger) — these three are a barre placement ——-3——— (ring finger) ——-1——— (pointer finger) ——-X——— C Chord: ——-0——— ——-1——— (pointer finger) ——-0——— ——-2——— (middle finger) ——-3——— (ring finger) ——-X——— D Chord: ——-2——— (ring finger) ——-3——— (middle finger) ——-2——— (pointer finger) ——-0——— ——-X——— ——-X——— E Chord: ——-0——— ——-0——— ——-1——— (pointer finger) ——-2——— (middle finger) ——-2——— (ring finger) ——-0——— F Chord: ——-1——— (pointer finger) ——-1——— (pointer finger) — these two are a barre placement

Remember the old youtube?

Where music videos were uploaded from users and not VEVO?

Remember when you just watched videos and not commercials?

Remember when the youtube site was run from users and not corporations?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Thumbs up to start a Youtube revolution!

papdaq got the best vid that i ever search 4.i watch other vids but i dunno where to put the fingers on the string.they just teach about the TABS and eadgbe.eat all day get big easy stuff..so,thanks a ton dude

@clayralskate I actually didn’t say i know it well. In fact if you watch the other videos I come right out and say “I don’t know this.” And thanks for the ‘tip’ on the strings, I’ve learned them now. However if you knew all of this already, at least well enough to bash on me for a lack of knowledge, what were you doing searching an instructional video in the first place? try to keep your reply a bit more mature please. thanks.

@clayralskate

clayralskateJuly 30th, 2011 at 2:47 am

clayralskateJuly 30th, 2011 at 3:21 am

Wow don’t act like you know music sooooo well when u don’t even know the string names, that’s pathetic

I been playing for like 3 or 4 years just doing like 2 of these chords and power chord stuff, this really helps alot. Great video. And thats right Music should be free!

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was given a 1960 Japanese Ibanez as a gift last christmas from my grandpa. It looks brand new and I been dying to play the crap out of it. – Thanks for the upload!

whiteangelofdarknessJuly 30th, 2011 at 6:08 am

BricktopJuniorJuly 30th, 2011 at 6:43 am

Wow, props bro, this video helped me SO MUCH, and good point when you pointed out those first 2 points haha. I agree fully.

kaleluk31July 30th, 2011 at 7:06 am

im a beginner, to play a chord, you hold down a chord on the neck but strum all the strings?
