Learning country guitar for free lesson one

In order to learn to play guitar you need to know the basics of music theory.

There are seven major chords in music.

A B C D E F G A B C D E F G

It is just like the ABCs you learned when learning the alphabet,after you get to the 7th chord it starts over again at the A and continues through the G chord.

Most country songs use the 1,4,5 major chords.

If the song is in the key of G.

G is the one chord - C is the 4 chord and D is the 5 chord. I know you are thinking how is that? it is very simple whatever key you are in is always the one chord, so if the song is in G, G is the one chord & remember that I said after you get to the last chord or the G chords it starts over at the A.

So you simply count A is the 2 chord, B is the 3 chord, C is the 4 chord and D is the 5 chord.

Lets do a example in the key of C

C is the one chord because whatever key your are in is always the one chord.

F is the four chord and G is the 5 chord.

C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5

You need to learn the 1-4-5 chords of all 7 major keys.

I recommend buying a guitar chord book that shows you how to make all the major and minor chords.

In the next lesson I will cover the off chords or the minor chords for all 7 major chords.
