When you're first learning how to play guitar, I recommend practicing chord switching between two chords. That way, you'll be able to learn some easy 2 chord songs on guitar, and can focus on the strumming patterns and all that other (very important) stuff.

Once you learn a few two chord songs, you'll be able to expand your chord vocabulary and learn some 3 chord songs, etc. It's more important to focus on the whole picture (putting chords & strumming together) than getting carried away with how many chords you know - quality over quantity!

Why do i keep muting the high e strings with my palm? so frustrating, i think i cant play this chord forevr😥

[poopstain]

Bro how everytime I put my finger on the string it doesn't play

[-bitsteve]

Having a problem getting this, either my fingers are too wide or my guitar is too short!

If the C Major is 1-3-5 or Do Mi So or C-E-G why is that you are using 1-3-2 where is the 5 or G ?

[ojsojs]

This is frustrating to learn if your freat height I'd narrow.

[joemama]

Is the A chord the same as A major chord?
