This first one uses the E chord, moved up, to create any other major chord.
*note* You can also do this with minor, 7, or any other chords, to change the key it's in.
E F G A
e |--0----1----3----5------<==root---|
b |--0----1----3----5-----------------|
g |--1----2----4----6-----------------|
d |--2----3----5----7------<==root---|
a |--2----3----5----7-----------------|
e |--0----1----3----5------<==root---|
Here's one that's a little bit tougher... using the A chord. If this is too difficult for you right now then try using an Am chord (so all ofyour fingers aren't bunched up into one fret).
A B C D
e |--0----2----3----5-----------------|
b |--2----4----5----7-----------------|
g |--2----4----5----7------<==root---|
d |--2----4----5----7-----------------|
a |--0----2----3----5------<==root---|
e |-----------------------------------|
