First/ Beginner Guitar Chord Charts/ Grids & How To Read Them

What are those X's , O's, Dots, and Numbers? Scroll To Learn More.

  • Hold your guitar vertically along with the printed Guitar Chord Chart next to it at the first fret.

  • The 6 strings on the guitar match the chord chart left to right, string 6 to string 1. The 6th string is the thickest

  • On some guitar chord charts the string notes on the Chord Chart are shown above each string: E, A, D, G, B, E

  • An X over a string indicates that string is not played

  • An O over a string indicates that string is not fretted but rather played Open

  • A Black Dot on a string indicates which fret is used on that string to finger the chord. The First, Second or Third fret

  • A White Number on a Black Dot indicates which finger to use on that string to properly finger the chord.

  • Finger 1 is index, 2 is middle, 3 is ring, and 4 is pinky

Some Chord Charts have Numbers at the Bottom of the string to indicate which finger to use on that string.

Some guitar chords use the same finger shape but on different strings. Note the E and Am (m = minor).

Remember, the numbers below the string is the finger number to use on that string, not the string number.

For the E chord the fingers are on strings 5, 4 and 3.

For the Am chord the fingers move to string 4, 3 and 2 but stay in the same position.

There is a song Beethoven composed for the piano that I have arranged using these 2 chords E and Am (for the most part). I arranged it for Easy Guitar so beginners that know the E and Am chords are able to tackle it. I call the song For Elsie, but the name is For Elise.

My arrangement is short to keep it simple for the student. The other chords in the song are just parts of the C and G chords. We can go over the song if you decide to come in for lessons or I can teach you by ZOOM.

Learn the chords on the Chord Chart that you printed earlier but save C and G for last.

The chord chart shown below has some chords and some chord fingering that I believe are not for beginners. Specifically the G and the F. Some of the teaching materials available I just don't agree with.

Skip C , G, and F. Learn the other chords and come back to C, G and F after you master the others.
