Guitar Chords Lesson - A Basis For Guitar
As the title states this post is going to cover an instrument chords lesson, because chords are one of the most important aspects of guitar playing. Even if you are listening to music with blistering guitar solos or a song with hardly any guitar to be heard whatsoever, the foundation of those songs rest firmly along with the chords underneath. So no matter what you do on guitar, you are likely to have to learn about chords.
You probably found this article as you were looking for a guitar chords lesson, but to be honest what you really need is a touch bit of music theory. Yes, the dreaded music theory is tough work, but once you understand the basics, you will know a lot more than any basic guitar chords lesson could educate you on! So I'm going to explain in this article what a chord is and just how it is constructed.
So what exactly is a guitar chord anyway? Well no matter what instrument you play a chord is really a chord. It doesn't matter if it's played on guitar, piano or other instrument. Ok, just what chord? In simple terms, a chord in music is any three notes played together simultaneously. So if you were to strum three open strings on your guitar right now, you'd have played a chord! May possibly not sound that great, however it would still be a chord played on the guitar.
In a traditional sense a chord consists of 3 special notes, which have been named and numbered since the "root", "third" and the "fifth". Depending on what these notes are in the chord see whether the chord is really a major chord, minor chord, diminished chord or other variant.
To talk about how or why a chord would be major, minor, diminished, augmented or some different goes beyond the scope of the lesson. If you would like to understand why a chord is known as the way it is named, you need to study scales, intervals and the names of those intervals. I'll cover this in future articles and lessons for now you have learned a couple of important things.
We have covered within this guitar chords lesson that chords would be the foundation of music. Chords on guitar aren't any different than any other guitar. We have also discovered that in order to have a chord, there must be 3 notes played simultaneously. Last but not least, we have discovered that the traditional chords are made up of a root, third and a fifth.
Of course this guitar chords lesson is not the end all be all of guitar chords, but I hope that gives a better understanding of chords in general. If you want to learn more about the building of chords, you have a long road ahead of you, but remember that, it's certainly worthwhile! Good luck and have a fun time learning!
