The Guitar Blueprint (For Beginners)

Hello There,

So today we are going to look at the beginner’s map for guitar. of course there is more to the map. However, once you learn

1. Open Chords: GCAD

2. Barre Chords: 6th + 5th Root

   1. Major + Minor

   2. Once you know the shape of a barre chord you can just “copy and paste” it anywhere and you will be fine.

      1. so below you will see the F major barre chord. if you use the exact same shape. but just move your hand up the neck (to the next fret) you will get the next chord. (F# Major)

You will be able to do what ever you want on the guitar and nobody will be able to stop you becasue you will have sufficient guitar knowledge just learn and expand your guitar skillset.

Lets look at what we are doing now

Open Chords

Remember don’t play any string with an “x” on it

G

• middle finger on 3rd fret on the string that is closest to your face

  • that is the Low E stirng

  • so 3rd fret Low E string

  Fun fact - there are many guitar players who learned to play upside down guitar because they were left handed

• Index finger on 2nd fret A string

  • just under the Low E string

• Ring Finger on 3rd fret high E string.

  • High E = string closest to floor

C

• index on 1st fret B string

• middle finger on 2nd fret of 4th string (D String, under A string)

• Ring Finger on 3rd fret 5th string

A

• [String, Fret]

• index = D2

• Middle = G2

• Ring = B2

D

• index = G2

• middle = e2

• ring = B3

• Middle

• Ring
