I have read plenty of these top 10 lists and I have found that the majority of songs suggested are not in fact easy. So I am here to help out all newbie guitarists in getting to grips with the most played chords.
I would suggest learning the following 9 chords: C A G E D Am Em Dm D7 – these are the easiest to learn as each finger only needs to cover one string and the chords are all using only 2 or 3 fingers and within the first 3 frets.
Find out how to play them by going onto clicking on the tools button on the top bar and then selecting chords. This will bring up a table where you can select all of the possible chords and see how to play them
The numbers indicate your fingers with 1 being your index finger and 4 your little finger. The red X indicates the strings you should not play during that chord.
Learn these 9 easy chords and you will be able to play all of the below songs (plus much more!)
