In this lessons video, I am going to be going over 4 of the easier chords you should learn on guitar as a beginner player. Now these absolute beginner guitar chords use only two fingers. And the great thing about learning these 4 chords is that they are very commonly used in songs together.

If you learn these 4 easy acoustic guitar chords: the easy C chord, the easy G chord, the easy D chord and the E minor chord, then you will be able to play thousands of songs.

Hi Lauren l have arthritis in my hands and was about to call it a day trying to start with the guitar. At 76 years old I thought that was it. Then I found your 2 finger chord video and I'm able to try again. So big hugs all the way from the UK

— @TheOliverCrafts

I will also show you how to use a capo with these 4 absolute beginner guitar chords to play even more songs. These easy acoustic guitar chords are great for beginner and older players alike. Good luck!

You are the best of the best guitar instructors, I almost gave up but you were teaching step by step and the right amount of time to let my brain absorb your instructions. I was searching through so many guitar teachers on YouTube and I found out that one of the guys' channels was someone who mentioned your name so here I am on your channel. I appreciate your enthusiastic care for seniors especially beginners how not give up for leaning the guitar. Thank you, from Korea, 63 years old, and MS. B

This made me feel like the main character.

@Avobas-g2f

Maybe explain that the top string is LOW E and the bottom string is HIGH E
It’s not counterintuitive and needs to explained and reinforced by teacher and student mental
Same with going up the fretboard is actually lowering notes and vice versa

I just bought an electric /acoustic and I’m having trouble getting the Em cord down. Are the strings different than what’s on a regular acoustic ?.. I have never played a day in my life but really want to learn

@pimpshack81

Do you have to pay

@shanenewman69

My problem as a beginner is that I need to keep building my calluses on my short finger tips so as to not mute the other strings. But I got a lot out of your basic instructions. I’m inspired to get me fingertips strong and hard.✌️

I want to perform in small cozy venues. I have been DJing and working with musicians for years and sang in various bands as a fill in. I now have the bug of wanting to learn guitar again. You are a very great teacher. Thank you so much.
