Where to Start with Chords (For New Players).

The three most commonly used guitar chords are:

1. G major: This chord is played by placing the second finger on the third fret of the sixth string, the third finger on the third fret of the first string, and the fourth finger on the third fret of the second string. The G chord is often used in many popular songs, including "Wonderwall" by Oasis, "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day.

2. C major: This chord is played by placing the first finger on the first fret of the second string, the second finger on the second fret of the fourth string, and the third finger on the third fret of the fifth string. The C chord is used in many songs, such as "Let It Be" by The Beatles, "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison, and "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes.

3. D major: This chord is played by placing the first finger on the second fret of the third string, the second finger on the second fret of the first string, and the third finger on the third fret of the second string. The D chord is commonly used in songs like "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton, "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty, and "Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones.

These three chords are often referred to as the "basic chords" and are a great starting point for beginners who are just learning to play guitar. They are also used in countless songs across various genres, making them an essential part of any guitar player's repertoire.
