Some beginner guitar players decide to learn to play chords before they learn some songs. Many experienced guitar players recommend finding some easy songs first and using the chord changes in the song as an exercise to learn how to play chords. But if you decided to learn some chords first and now you are able to string a few simple open guitar chords together after some intensive guitar practice, it’s time to look for some songs to play. Your first stop should be Chordie, which is a search engine for finding guitar chords and tabs. Let’s say you have learnt to play the A, E, G, D and A minor chords. You go to Chordie’s song list and find a song that interests you. If you click on a song and find it does not use the chords you are familiar with, Chordie has a handy Transpose Button which you keep clicking till the song appears in a key that has the chords you feel comfortable with. If you want to learn to play House Of The Rising Sun, go through the song list until you find the song which will be arranged using Am, C, D and F. If for some reason that arrangement does not suit you, you can go to the right of the page and transpose the song up five semitones and the tabs appear using Dm, F, G and Bb. You can also find the tabs for any song arranged for banjo, ukulele and mandolin.
And here is the amazing Justin Sandercoe with a video guitar lesson on the A and E chords.
