Questions
How many chords are there on guitar?
Thousands, if you count every voicing. But the five types on this chart (major, minor, 7, maj7 and m7) cover the large majority of chords in pop, rock, folk and country songs.
How do I read a chord diagram?
The vertical lines are the strings, with the thickest (low E) on the left. The horizontal lines are frets. A dot shows where to press, and the number inside is the finger to use: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 little. A circle above the nut means play the string open; an X means don't play it.
