  • Beginner guitarists need easy chords. It's the fastest way to sound pleasant while playing, especially when accompanied with some singing.
    Today, we break down the essential beginner guitar chords, basic chord structure, and even dabble in basic guitar theory.
    I also give some pro tips on how to easily play barre chords, and fast ways to transition. As well as what chords sound better on acoustic guitar, and which sound better on electric. It's a lot of content for 3 minutes!
    Thanks for watching, enjoy :)

    You can also play power chords by adding pinky to string under 5th (3rd finger), which adds the octave (1st note again). It can give a fuller sound since 3 strings will be played instead just 2. Also, it can make it easier to transition to octaves within same song by just lifting your 3rd finger to remove the 5th note.
