Beginner Guitarists
C Major: This is a much easier key with no barre chords.
- Chords in C Major: C, C7, D7, Dm, Em, F, G7, Am, A7, B7
- Playing with the video: Capo on the 9th fret
- Highlight the 'C' key on the Transposer, and all the necessary chords can be found on the Guitar Chords for Beginners page.
G Major: If you find it awkward playing with a Capo on the 9th fret, due to limited space on the fretboard or the pitch sounding too high, the next easiest key is G Major.
- Chords in G Major: G, G7, A7, Am, Bm, C, D7, Em, E7, F#7
- Playing with the video: Capo on the 2nd fret
- This key includes F#7 which is typically played as a barre chord, but there is an open chord version that will get you out of trouble... and very easy to play:
