Easy Guitar Chords

Easy Guitar Chords give many beginners a hard time and they give up. They find that easy guitar chords are easy for guitar teachers but not easy for beginners.

Especially for beginners with busy schedules and minimal guitar time.

Unfortunately these beginners didn't want to give up.

They just found that learning the skills demanded more time than they actually had.

Conversely, the beginners that succeeded did so not because easy guitar chords are easy. Or because they hads the patience of saints.

They succeeded because they had the time to put into learning easy guitar chords.

So what are these time-intensive, time-demanding easy chords?

Well, here below are three hard-is-easy fingerings of the mighty D Major Chord that beginners have to learn.

As you look at the fingerings ask yourself: do they look easy?

The above pictures show you an angle of the hands playing the chord.

Below are fingering maps showing you which fingers are playing which string in which fret.

Each map corresponds to the photograph above.

The left most string in each diagram corresponds to the top string in the fingering photograph above. X means that string is not played. 0 means that string is played (with the strumming hand) but not fretted by any finger.

Now you come to a fourth version of D Major.

Notice in the fingering diagram which fingers are required to play this D Major chord?

It all comes down to how much learning time you have.

If you have limited time and/or prefer easy solutions to hard ones then your first port of call is learn easy guitar.
