Nicholas Taylor couldn't of worded it better myself.

Without a doubt, Steve Stine is the best!

Agreed

Hi. That happens a lot. We want to learn how to play solos, we focus on that and can get pretty good at it. Then we realize that we've skipped some fundamentals and have to go back. That's totally fine. Learning chords will also help with your soloing. The guitar is mainly an instrument used for accompanying so learning chords and strumming patterns will help you learn the instrument better and in general make you a better musician. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing! 👍

Hope it works for you!

Alesa Garrett wild horses is easy .G,Bm,Am,C,F,D.

That is correct.

Hi Steve. After you have these 10 chords there are a few open chord you might want to look at. Some are very similar to the first 10 and all you have to do is add or remove one finger. Here are a few: Em7 (022030), Am7 (X02010), Dm7 (XX0211) the great thing about adding the 7th is that it makes the minor chord sound a bit brighter. Then you can try some dominant 7th such as E7 (020100), A7 (X02020) and D7 (XX0212). Another great open chord you can try is known as Cadd9 and this goes very well with the G chord. This is the voicing X32033. The next step would be to start learning 5th string and 6th string Barre chords. Hope this helps and answers your question.

@@stinemusiclessons, thanks very much!

The "easy" way to play is to just press on one string, but if you can learn to press on 5 strings, you are on your way to developing what we call the "5th string Barre Chord" which is awesome! Either way works, depending on what works for you, but understand that learning to press on all those strings is coming soon either way :-)

Steve Stine Guitar Lessons That’s fantastic info, Steve! You’ve got great stuff on your channel (subbing) thank you soo much for the quick response, too. I’m a newbie, although I feel I’ve been that forever, but hey, it’s a journey, right? Ha ha! Anyway, I alway try to learn my fingering, picking, chords without any short cuts, I feel that it will make me a better player in the long run; I’ve had a bit of a trouble with that Bm chord, especially doing the “what’s going on” by the None Blonde” riff that it uses. Switching from A to Bm barring is a challenge but I’ll get it eventually. Thanks again🙏. 🖖 Max Power

It's not, but making the barre chord version of the chord is too difficult when starting out.

Bsus2

That's correct, it's a Bsus2 chord: x 2 4 4 2 2 Which is an Asus2 shape: x 0 2 2 0 0 ...moved up the fretboard 2 frets. Keep experimenting! You never know what you'll find. :-) -- GuitarZoom Staff

Thanks! I saw it listed as F#Sus 4 as well

You are correct, but beginners wouldn't really know what all that means, so I avoid confusing them even more...there is time to learn it all :-)

Absolutely! It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality.

Fun Dayz Different ways to play an open G. Cheers!

4 finger G, or Big with the D# on the B is a relatively new thing in grand scheme of chords. Makes coming or going to D easier, or meant to, I find them all tough👍😉

Thank you so much!!

***** thanku 4 the lesson, that was very helpful to me, I knew all them 1st 8 chords so that gave me a bit of confidence, the d minor is probably the hardest of the 1st 8 chords , but the last 2 chords f? Or b? Were hard on my fingers,,, kind of like c was when I first learnt it, is there any trick to keep fingers in position spread out like that? Because just those last two chords really hurt my fingertips and left indents in my fingers and I even have brand new strings on,... Like is there a practice technique to keep them fingers in that position for long periods, how do I do that

about 36 years :-)

@@stinemusiclessons cool, do you play with a band?
