Guitar Chords Lesson - A Basis For Guitar
As the title states this post is going to cover a guitar chords lesson, because chords are probably the most important aspects of guitar playing. Even if you are listening to music with blistering guitar solos or a song with almost no guitar to be heard at all, the foundation of those songs rest firmly together with the chords underneath. So no matter what you do on guitar, you are likely to have to learn about chords.
You almost certainly found this article as you were looking for a guitar chords lesson, but in all honesty what you really need is a touch bit of music theory. Yes, the dreaded music theory is hard work, but once you recognize the basics, you will know more options than any basic notes lesson could educate you on! So I'm going to explain in this post what a chord is and the way it is constructed.
Just what exactly exactly is a guitar chord anyway? Well no matter what instrument you play a chord is really a chord. It doesn't matter if it's played on guitar, piano or any other instrument. Ok, what is a chord? In simple terms, a chord in music is any three notes played together simultaneously. So if you were to strum three open strings on your guitar right now, you'd have played a chord! It may not sound that great, however it would still be a chord played around the guitar.
In a traditional sense a chord is made up of 3 special notes, which have been named and numbered since the "root", "third" and the "fifth". Depending on what these notes have been in the chord see whether the chord is really a major chord, minor chord, diminished chord or any other variant.
To talk about how or why a chord would be major, minor, diminished, augmented or anything else goes beyond the scope of the lesson. If you would like to understand why a chord is known as the way it is named, you need to study scales, intervals as well as the names of those intervals. I am going to cover this later on articles and lessons until then you have learned a couple of important things.
We have covered within this guitar chords lesson that chords will be the foundation of music. Chords on guitar aren't any different than any other musical instrument. We have also learned that in order to have a chord, there has to be 3 notes played simultaneously. Last but not least, we have learned that the traditional chords comprise a root, third and a fifth.
Of course this notes lesson is not the end all be all of guitar chords, however i hope that gives a better understanding of chords generally. If you want to learn more about the construction of chords, you have a long road in front of you, but trust me, it's certainly worth every penny! Good luck and have a fun time learning!
Just thought you may well be interested in reading this guide: all guitar chords and acoustic guitar chords.
