Learn Guitar Chords Fast - Three Things You Must Know













If you want to learn to play the guitar fast, you're going to have to learn guitar chords fast. Chords are the fundamental building blocks of guitar playing. There are ways to learn guitar chords fast and here are a few examples of how to do just that.






The first thing you must realize if you want to learn guitar chords fast, is that your hand is going to be asked to do a lot of odd positions that it just is not used to doing. You are going to go through a period of muscle building in your fingers, palm and wrist. This building period will be difficult, and may take a while. Also, be ready for some fingertip pain as you build calluses from the strings.


Secondly, to learn guitar chords fast, I suggest you learn barre chords quickly. A barre chord is nothing more than an open chord moved up the neck, becoming a differently named chord each time it is moved. For example, if you take an E chord, move the whole chord up one fret, then use your index finger to press the string down on the first fret, you'll change the E chord to an F chord. 


Move up 3 frets, and you have a G chord. This method of playing chords is mostly used with an E or A chord.
Third, get a guitar chord chart. These handy guides will show you all the chords in all positions. An open A chord will sound different than an A barre chord. It's useful to begin to hear the differences between the same chords played in different positions.
If you can learn guitar chords fast, you'll be able to play songs faster, making learning the guitar more enjoyable much quicker.
