I need help with chords

I REALLY new to this whole guitar thing and I was wondering if anyone could help.

Hello anyone out there?

Yello... echo echo...
Try starting at the Beginners section on the home page at GuitarTricks.

There's a bunch of free startup lessons that should get ya going.

thanx I'll try it.

If you want to progress at as quick of a rate as possible I would recommend taking some lessons from a local teacher. A good teacher will help you sort your fingerings out and help you to prevent bad habits. This will make everything you do easier and save you a lot of headache in the long run.

Well one of the hardest things for me, literally for years, was the "basic" chords. To me and my fingers however, there was nothing basic about them. Once I had gotten over the problem of getting my fingers developed enough to not accidentally touch off adjacent strings, the hardest problem I had (for years) was to manage to change between them smoothly and accurately.

I knew tonnes of chords, but yet I couldn't actually get from the start of a song to the finish line without stumbling over a chord change at one point or another, or perhaps many :-)

For me, the breakthrough came through when I discovered Guitar Principles, and specifically when I bought their book "The Guitar Principles Path, Level 1: Chords & Rhythm". This book saved me. It didn't crap on about the usual stuff that chord book crap on about. It actually spoke about the Technique involved in fingering chords, and then gave me a solid consistent method of learning how to change back and forth between chord shapes.

I highly recommend it. You will find it at www.guitarprinciples.com. Check out their free essays while you are there too - all are invaluable to a guitar student.

Have fun
