Beginners
C Major is a much easier key with no barre chords. You will need a Capo on the 9th fret if you are playing along with the video. Highlight the 'C' key on the Transposer, and all the necessary chords can be found on the Guitar Chords for Beginners page.
- Chords in C Major: C, C7, D7, Dm, Em, F, G7, Am, A7, B7
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. If you are playing with the video, highlight the 'G' key on the Transposer, and place a capo on the 2nd fret. This 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:
- Chords in G Major: G, G7, A7, Am, Bm, C, D7, Em, E7, F#7
