Re: is it learn the chords on guitar

The main difference between a guitar and piano is the fact that on a Piano you can play any given note in one place only. On the Guitar you play any given note in many different places. Often you can find up to 3 places to play any given note before the 12th fret.

This makes the guitar a very universal instrument to play but can also be confusing for the newbie.

In regards to chords, being there is more than one place to play a note, there is also more than one place to play a chord.

To make it easier for guitarists to read chords some clever person came up with chord charts.

Check the examples here on my blog that will advise you

Here you will see some examples of chord charts.

They are a box that contains 6 lines - these represent the 6 strings on your guitar. The horizontal lines represent the frets. The dots are where to put your fingers.

This makes understanding how to play chords a lot easier.

Hope this helps
