and i dont know how to play that.
but then when i search how to read them
it gives me the stupid chord chart and THATS CONFUSING TO READ TOO!!
heelpp

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

This is shown with a single note on that line of sheet music. This example goes all the way to the fourth string D, all show with single notes on the staff. Then it gets into chords and I get lost.

It shows a G chord in the format played like this (tabs):
e–3
B–0
G–0
D–0
A–2
E–3

But the same note on the staff line is a single G note.

Now, my question is, what about the sheet music that shows stacked notes? How are these played?

For example if I see a G and high E notes stacked, what chord is tat? How do I play that?
This book does not teach about stacked notes on the staff.

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.

i always pick best answer so actually help.

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.

my brother plays. he’s too lazy to tell me. -___- so how do you read it, as in which finger goes where and stuff? thanks so much!

and how long did it take YOU to learn? — basic chords and stuff

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.

What’s the secret?

Thanks!

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.

Similarly with G/C, which means "G Major chord with C in the bass." You’d play a C in the left hand and a G chord in the right hand. The G chord can be played G-B-D, B-D-G, D-G-B, or in any other combination of those notes.

I know the answer because I’ve been playing music a long time.

Hope that helps.

There is a page full of beginner guitar chords there. The site is free. I am in no way affiliated with the site. I’m just helping you out.
.
Also, go to yahoo.com and type in: chord diagrams for beginning guitarist
.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
.
Once you learn the basic beginner chords and are ready to move on to "barre chords", make sure you spell the word "barre" correctly…it is NOT spelled "bar". You aren’t going to find any worthwhile searches if you search for ‘bar chords’, because usage of that spelling indicates lack of real music theory knowledge.
Again, feel free to contact me with any questions, as I offer ALL of my 33 + years of guitar technique and music theory wisdom for free to anyone who asks.
