Look around on youtube, lots of people showing you how to play there. Also there is this site I found where you can punch in the name of the song or bang your looking for…..when you find a song there will be a option to show the chords and which fret to play them in..

Comment on how do you learn to play notes of guitar without the annoying chord chart? by Ryan

Basically, If It Looks Something Like This:

||———————————-|
||———————————-|
||–0—3—5—-0—–3—6-5-|
||–0—3—5—-0—–3—6-5-|
||———————————-|
||———————————–|

Each Line Represents A String, And The Numbers Represent Which Fret You Put Your Fingers On.
Hope That Helps.

e|-3—3—3—2—3-|
This isn’t notes, it tab
To play this is really simple
You go to the high e string, play the 3rd fret twice, then 2nd fret then the 3rd again
If it was like this
e|-1-
B|-2 Then you would play the 1st fret e string and the B string 2nd fret at the same time

To try and make it simple, the letter at the start is the string
So e| is the high e string, B| would be the B string etc
Then the number after would be the fret you play
You read it left to right like your reading
Try this website for tab of all your favorite songs

Comment on How do you know what chords are on guitar sheet music? by TommyMc

TommyMc — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 01:16:59 +0000

If you see two stacked notes on a musical staff, you just play those two notes simultaneously. It won’t be a chord, not all music is chords. Musical notation sometimes has guitar chords written above the staff, but unless it’s an entire score, the sheet music will be written for piano. There’s no reason you can’t play the notes on guitar, just don’t expect them all to be chords.

Since the same note appears in multiple places on a guitar, many guitarists prefer using tab because it shows the exact finger placement. OTOH, tab doesn’t show the timing and duration of notes, so it’s good to learn both forms of music.

Comment on How do you know what chords are on guitar sheet music? by Patrick

Q. How do you know what chords are on guitar sheet music?
A. Figure out which notes they are, then learn which chords contain which notes.

Q. what about the sheet music that shows stacked notes? How are these played?
A. Simultaneously.

Q. For example if I see a G and high E notes stacked, what chord is tat? How do I play that?
A. It’s not a chord. Chords have at least 3 notes. Play the open 3rd string for the G and the open 1st string for the E

I suspect your music book is showing chord diagrams for the harmony, and musical notes for a singalong melody. In this case, all you have to do is strum the chords.

Comment on guitar chord inversions? by LucasMan

Check this out: play a D barre chord on the 10th fret (all 6 strings). If you just play the top 3 strings, this is a 1st inversion D major chord. The top note is the root. Memorize this shape.

Now play a D barre chord on the 5th fret (5 strings). The top 3 strings are now a root position D triad. Root is on the bottom. Memorize this shape.

Now play an open D major chord (4 strings). The top 3 strings are a 2nd inversion D triad. Root is in the middle. Memorize this shape.

Do all this again with D minor chords to find the shapes. Write them all down and make your own chart. Once you memorize these 6 shapes you should be able to jump tons of songs with nice smooth voice-leading no problem.

What happens with 7th chords? Well, you just don’t play the root. A Cmaj7 chord has the notes C E G B, drop the C and you’re left with E G B… an E minor triad! So when you see Cmaj7, play E minor instead and let the bass player hit the root. This is called chord substitution, and it can take you a long way.

If you’re playing along and hit some type of 7th chord (or anything other than a normal triad) figure out the notes in the chord and see if there’s some simple little triad hiding in there that you can use.

Comment on How to read a guitar chord chart? by Joseph

Going down, they are the frets.
Going across, each line represents the string.
The black dots are where your fingers go.
The white dots beside the strings are the other strings you should strum along with the frets you have held down.
So with D major, for example. You hold down the 1st fret on the 5th string. And the 2nd fret on the 4th and 6th.
Look through the chords and just do this.

Sorry if I didn’t help too much, I’m not too great at explaining stuff.

Comment on what does 3fr mean on a guitar chord chart? by MusicRevisited

MusicRevisited — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:30:59 +0000

3fr means to treat the third fret of the guitar as if it were the first. In other words, you would ignore the first two sections (frets) of the neck of the guitar and position your fingers beginning on the third fret. Changing the fret on which you are playing changes the key in which the chord will sound.

Comment on When looking at Chord charts, there’s no G#? by la Diva

la Diva — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:03:59 +0000

If all the sharp chords a missed, I would presume the secret is not so much a secret as a misunderstanding. The reason you’re not seeing a G# chord, is because it is the same as an Ab, and there would be no use printing it twice. If you can’t find a chord because its sharp, look up the flattened (b) chord of the note above. As mentioned in the previous answer Ab = G#, and C# = Db.
The flats and sharps are the black notes of a piano, as Im sure you know. The black notes come between 2 white notes, as im also sure you’re aware. There are then two names of the black note (it depends on which key signature you’re in whether you have sharps or flats because you cant have both in a piece) but without getting into all of that, the simple answer to your question is because the chord of G# is going by another name.
Hope I helped rather than confused.
