The dots on the top indicate which strings need to be played and which you should leave muted.
These diagrams represent the neck of a guitar, with the dots on the grid showing you which fingers (1 is index, 2 is your middle, 3 is your ring, and 4 is your pinky) to place on which frets. Some good ones to start with are C, D, E, and G in the open position. In terms of difficulty, open chords are generally easier as you don’t have to hold down multiple strings with one finger or stretch your fingers too much. Barre chords don’t have any open strings in them, so they can be moved around the guitar neck to change the pitch of the chord.Open chords are played near the nut (headstock of the guitar), with some strings left to ring openly – without you pressing down any frets.You’ll see two types of chords referred to in guitar speak: open chords and barre (pronounced ‘bar’) chords.
Put simply, a chord is a group of notes played together at the same time. What should a beginner guitarist learn?.What is the easiest song to play on the guitar?.“Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan/Guns N’ Roses
